Eves of History
Big moments in history are created in the little moments leading up to them. This year, join Breckenridge History to dive into the history that led up to the Fourth of July with the Moments That Made US and Spirit of ’76 exhibits. Then, on the eve of Colorado Day, join us for a living-history presentation to learn from Casimero Barela, the Legendary Perpetual Senator, longest-serving state senator in Colorado history, also known as the Father of the Colorado Senate.
