How do I Apply?

To apply for Colorado Centennial Farms designation, owners must submit an application providing information about the history of the property and its buildings, indicating that the farm or ranch meets the program's requirements.  For the Historic Structures Award, photographs of the buildings are required.  Application forms must be mailed to the State Historical Fund by the deadline, which is April 30th each year.  For more information about the Colorado Centennial Farms program or to receive an application, contact the State Historical Fund.
