For those of you who really know me, this can be scary, I know!!! But I've been active in the Daughters of the American Revolution for a few years. I served as Colorado State Historian - updating, digitizing and GPS'ing our Colorado Historical Markers.
After visiting alot of our Historical Markers placed in the state of Colorado, I realized not only is it important to mar...k and recognize these places in our state it is important to maintain those Historical Markers.
A special State Committee was formed and over the last two years, our big project has been to:
Write a NSDAR Historic Preservation Matching Grant for the "Repairs and Restoration of the Madonna of the Trail in Lamar, Colorado. My big sister helped me with the process of writing this grant and it was submitted to the NSDAR in January 2013, and awarded to the Colorado State Society in April of 2013.
Good news - our contract is in, and am awaiting the dates for repairs...... either the week of August 12 or the 19th!!! It's getting closer, so I'm brushing up on blogging and keeping you all posted with photos onYouTube!!!
Colorado is having a hot, windy summer so far, and I'm sure that Lamar will be warm in August!
Happy Summer
