Our mission

We know how much our towns and our precious lands mean to our residents, to families with history in the area, and to visitors attracted to the wonderful things this area has to offer.

Therefore, we’re committed to our important mission:

  • Preserving for the public benefit the history of the region — homesteading, ranching, logging, mining, water development and recreation — for the portion of Larimer County that lies northwest of the intersection of Highways 14 and 287
  • Preserving and encourage preservation of historical buildings, objects, sites and areas relating to the history of Red Feather Lakes and surrounding area
  • Promoting an awareness of and respect for all that is historically significant about Red Feather and the surrounding area.
