Lovely Lakewood Historical Society Meeting today

From the Friends of Historic Fort Logan Board-
Hello to everyone. The Board is excited to share information on the various activities happening in the Field Office’s Quarters Museum.
This summer has been a busy one with many visitors for our Saturday Open Houses (3rd Saturday of the month from 1pm to 3pm. No Open House in December.) We have seen a steady increase in visitors, with lots of kids too. The road construction on the Fort Logan grounds is now complete. If you come to an Open House- parking will be in the back on the much- improved paved lot behind the building. Also, the 2nd floor has a new room open with artwork highlighting the Museum and grounds of Fort Logan.
One of the biggest challenges the Board is facing is the new rental fee we are paying to maintain and keep the building. A rental fee has never been required in the past, but times and budgets are different these days. This monthly expense is dramatically changing the Board’s budget, as well. We are looking into different ways to generate revenue. The membership dues you pay directly go to paying this new rental fee, along with other maintenance items. Also, if you know of any potential donors or sponsors- the Board would be happy to discuss future options. The contact email is listed below.
The Board is always looking for volunteers for our Open House docents, so if you have an interest- please send an email to [email protected]. We will train you- no previous experience required!
Hope to see you at the Museum soon! Have a great fall,
LuAnn Hiler-Chair
