Preserve America
Heritage Preservation and Tourism is getting renewed focus in Fremont County through the efforts of many local groups and individuals. A Fremont County Heritage Commission has formed and is in the process of defining its mission and goals.
This follows the designation of Fremont County as a ‘Preserve America’ Community. Fremont County was one of two Colorado Counties honored at the annual Colorado ‘Saving Places’ Conference in Denver as the newest ‘Preserve America’ Communities. The ‘Preserve America’ designation allows local leaders to pursue federal grants to enhance Fremont County and preserve our history in a manner that has not been afforded us before.
‘Preserve America’ is a White House initiative. The Fremont County Commissioners adopted a resolution in December pledging that the community will protect and celebrate our heritage, to use historic assets for economic development and revitalization, to encourage local citizens to get involved in education and heritage tourism programs, and to establish a volunteer board to coordinate the various county interests in historic preservation and heritage tourism.
In organizing local efforts the Fremont County Heritage Commission has developed their own web site. Visit it today at www.fremontheritage.com to learn more about Fremont County’s historical heritage and how you can get involved.
