What is Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month?Archaeology & Historic Preservation Month is a celebration of our state's heritage. The month highlights special preservation projects, archaeological talks and prehistoric or historical sites cherished by local residents and visitors. Events include lectures, the preservation initiatives of local communities, workshops, demonstrations and public displays. You are invited to experience some of the excitement, discovery, and effort to save some of Colorado's past. The theme for this year is “Documenting the Past". Many events are scheduled in cities and towns throughout Colorado during May 2008. All events are sponsored by volunteers from various organizations, state agencies and local governments, as well as by individuals who share their passion for preserving Colorado's ancient and historic places. Help spread the word that preserving the past is important. Saving significant prehistoric and historic places ensures that future generations in Colorado will maintain a connection with our shared cultural legacy.
