— BACKGROUND — Gwen Kelly, a 3rd generation Coloradoan, wanted to share OUR CLUB HAS SPONSORED EVENTS the state’s rich history and heritage with others. Toward this FEATURING WELL-KNOWN EXPERTS end she organized the founding of The Colorado Heritage Club WHO EXPLORE OUR HERITAGE. SOME OF THEIR in January 2011 and has led it ever since. Over the first year PRESENTATIONS ARE SUMMARIZED HERE. the club produced events featuring professional speakers and entertainers open to all interested Anthem Ranchers. By popular demand these evening events soon became the main focus. Low price tickets ($1—$3) were sold to cover costs. High quality videos were often shown at “matinees” (free). Local town museums, libraries, and historical societies were valuable resources. An extensive club website was created, THE PAST, BOTH RECENT AND DISTANT, with active links to these information sources — accessible via OF ANTHEM RANCH & OUR NEIGHBORHOOD the club web page.

You are not the first persons here on the western edge of the Great Plains. At least 7,000 years ago ancient hunters strolled the high rolling grasslands of Anthem Ranch and scouted locations of the massive herds of bison and antelope.
