History Colorado to host public forums in Holyoke and Wiggins

***Press Release***

DENVER - History Colorado is visiting a town near you! History Colorado's Preservation Programs staff are hitting the road for two different tours this summer to hear your needs and  offer solutions through historic preservation, which can increase heritage tourism, boost community involvement, and transform your local economy, all while honoring your past.
Is your community's history important to you?
 What's your perspective on historic preservation, archaeology, museum operations and educational programming in your town? Share your thoughts at a History Colorado Listening Session, designed specifically to determine how History Colorado's Preservation Programs can help your community's heritage programs thrive.
