Brick by Brick: Historic Preservation, the Bicentennial Commission, & Civic Action
Date/Time: Thursday, May 21, 7pm – 8pm (doors open at 6:30)
Location: Fort Collins Museum of Discovery Digital Dome Theater – 408 Mason Court, Fort Collins, Colorado, 80524
This year is the nation’s 250th anniversary, and Colorado’s 150th. Join staff from the Museum of Discovery and the City Historic Preservation office to explore how the Fort Collins community came together to celebrate the bicentennial in 1976, and how it created important momentum for the work of historic preservation in our city.
We’ll learn how community leaders from across the city worked together to celebrate together and save some important reflections of Fort Collins’ identity, and about their foundational efforts to build what we’ve come to know as Fort Collins today.
Bring your learning hat and your sense of civic pride as we explore stories from Fort Collins past that reflect the important civic values of shared responsibility, memory, stewardship, and active citizenship of Fort Collins past, present, and future.
