It is AHS’s privilege to highlight and honor these stories – old and new – that define the upper Roaring Fork Valley’s collective identity. The final year of the decade brought a multitude of exciting opportunities to explore the past with AHS, from guided tours with historians and trained interpretive guides to four historic sites to one of the largest public archives in the region. Serving visitors and locals of all ages as a public resource, AHS guarantees we’ll continue to provide access to local history that fosters a sense of community and encourages a vested interest in the future of this special place. With a new decade upon us, this work remains as important as ever. Thanks to your continued support and participation, we look forward to continuing to celebrate the past, for the future. Sincerely, Kelly Murphy President & CEO MARGARET “MIGGS” DURRANCE Honoring Female Photographers in 2020 In honor of this year’s centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote, the historical images in this piece feature women of the era taken by Margaret “Miggs” Durrance.* Miggs was a professional photographer who worked with her husband Dick while he pursued film projects; her work appeared in national magazines such as LIFE, Look, Sports Illustrated and National Geographic.
