HRC! Honors the Past By Using 
Tools of Today
Greetings from
your friends at Historic
Routt County! We are excited
about all that has been going on, and I wanted to update you on many of the
recent developments at HRC!
New Executive Director & PartnershipsLast summer, our
Board of Directors hired Towny Anderson as Executive Director. With his extensive non-profit organization
experience and passion for historic preservation, Towny has hit the ground
running. You may have
heard that we have formed a new partnership with Colorado Mountain
College. Read the Complete President's Message Here >.
"The preservation
movement has one great curiosity. There is never retrospective controversy or
regret. Preservationists are the only people in the
world who are invariably confirmed in their wisdom after the fact..."
John Kenneth Galbraith, Economist

 Unique Routt County
Landmark in Danger of Being Lost
How many times have you driven out to Stagecoach reservoir and wondered about the little log cabin on the left? The "Diamond Window Cabin" was placed on the Routt County Register of Historic Properties in 2005. Recognizing its iconic stature attained over years of standing sentinel over Morrison Creek Valley, HRC! took its first steps toward restoring the Diamond Window Cabin in 2006. Help is needed to continue the restoration effort. Read More >Related Story >To contribute to this effort, download a Donation Form.

HRC! Helps Secure Local Historic Designation
for Five Routt County Properties
Through a grant from the Colorado State Historical Fund, HRC! has helped five properties to achieve designation to the Routt County Register of Historic Properties over the past two years. The five properties are Crosson's M & A Market and the Yampa-Egeria Museum in Yampa; Mission Building-Pool Hall and Elkhead Rock Schoolhouse in Hayden; and Humble Ranch in Steamboat Springs.

The goal of historical surveys is to establish base information - including location, configuration, construction history and historical associations to establish the historical significance and the possibility of being listed on the Routt, State or National Register of Historic Places.
