What We Do
Old places are where our lives, memories, and stories began. They connect us to the past, anchor us to the present, and lead us into the future. These places inspire us to create a stronger community, because they belong to all of us.
For 50 years, Historic Boulder has worked to save Boulder’s historic sites; tell the full Boulder story; build stronger communities; and invest in preservation’s future.
Thanks to the passion and dedication of our supporters, we’ve been able to protect hundreds of places. Help us save places that matter—for ourselves, each other, and our future together.
Educate
Education is at the core of our public programming because an informed society is an empowered society. The programs below enable Historic Boulder to foster the spirit and promote the benefits of preservation.
Advocate
Whether it’s a single project or an entire community, preservation is no small task. By its nature, preservation requires an ongoing commitment that is larger than any individual. This is why working together toward common goals is so important. The preservation people are here for you!
Rehabilitate
Renovations, remodels, and true preservation projects (wherein the structure is restored as closely as possible to its original state) can all fall under the larger umbrella of rehabilitation. The purpose of all these efforts is to breathe new life into the old, so that it may also serve the future.
Celebrate
All work and no play makes preservation a dull game! We try to celebrate our historic places regularly through annual member parties, exciting programs for the community, and through awards and honors. We hope you are able to join us!
