Historical Events and Museums in Colorado

This summer I attended an event at Ft. Garland in southern Colorado.  It was a great event and introduced me to a wealth of history activities available through History Colorado.  This group consists of museums and historic sites throughout Colorado.  The museums covered are:

History Colorado Center

Byers-Evans House Museum

El Pueblo History Museum

Fort Garland Museum

Fort Vasquez Museum

Georgetown Loop Railroad

Grant-Humphreys Mansion

Healy House Museum

Pike's Stockade

Trinidad History Museum

Ute Indian Museum

You can see a list of their events at http://www.historycolorado.org/calendar as well as visit the webpages of the museums.  Their website is worth exploring well. If you are lucky enough to be visiting Colorado, plan to put these places on your list of sites to visit.
