SUMMARY:Museum on Main Street in Walsenburg
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Humanities will tour “Crossroads: Change in Rural America\,” a Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibit to 10 Colorado communities August 2023 to December 2024. The exhibit takes a broad look at the characteristics of rural America\, how an attraction to and interaction with the land formed the basis of rural America\, and how these communities and small towns evolve. \nThe exhibition opens at the Museum of Friends\, 600 Main Street\, Walsenburg\, CO 81089\, on August 26\, 2023 and will be on view there through October 8\, 2023 (hours Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.) before moving to the other communities. \n About “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” \n“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. Currently\, most of the United States landscape remains rural with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. Since 1900\, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. \nAmericans have relied on rural crossroads for generations. These places where people gather to exchange goods\, services\, culture\, and engage in political and community discussions are an important part of our cultural fabric. Despite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes\, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development. \n“‘Crossroads’ allows us to reflect on Huerfano County and Walsenburg’s past\, present\, and future and we are excited to explore what the future may hold for our community\,” said Maria Cocchiarelli\, Museum of Friends’ Executive Director. A series of public programs and facilitated conversations will also complement the Smithsonian exhibition\, and all are free events with donations welcome. Planned events include a screening and discussion of the film “The Five States of Colorado” at the Walsenburg Fox Theater on August 18th at 6 p.m.\, two Volunteer and Docent Training sessions on how to lead tours through this exhibit on Friday 2 August 18th and Friday August 25th both at 3 p.m.\, and a School-Tour program available for youth K through 12 from August 29\, 2023 through October 8\, 2023. Additionally on Saturday September 16\, Museum of Friends will host Story Share with CU Boulder Drama Department’s Professor Jim Walker and Improvisation Troupe. Culminating conversations will be held in the fall to explore the impact that the MoMS exhibition “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” had on opening dialogue within the community.

SUMMARY:Meet Alexander Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:To most Americans\, Alexander Hamilton remains a vaguely disquieting figure\, yet can also be seen as the new American: strong of will\, confident of purpose\, with the encumbrances of human frailties. A man who rose through society propelled only by his intelligence and energy and became far more than seemed likely at his birth\, his life was far more interesting\, and far more important than most seem to think. \nHal Bidlack is a retired career military officer. Following his retirement\, he served on the staff of a United States Senator and as a senior research fellow at DC-based think tanks. In Chautauqua tradition\, Hal will first take questions as the character\, then answer questions as the scholar/actor. \nIf you are interested in attending\, please reserve a spot by emailing Julianne Fritz at sjfritz@slbbi.com or calling 970.396.4637 as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Dan Schultz\, author of Dead Run: The Murder of a Lawman and the Greatest Manhunt of the Modern American West – History Live! Durango
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Maria’s Bookshop\nLocation: Maria’s Bookshop\nContact: Mary Schwartz\, 970.247.1438\, mary@mariasbookshop.com \nTwenty-five years ago\, inhabitants of the Four Corners region were shocked by this desperate scheme that resulted in the brutal murder of a Cortez police officer\, Dale Claxton. More than a crime story\, Dead Run is the extraordinary true story of three desperado survivalists\, a dangerous plot\, a brutal murder\, and a treacherous manhunt that brought national attention to our Southwest region. The pursuit that ensued pitted the most sophisticated law enforcement technology on the planet against three self-trained survivalists. Seventy-five local\, state\, and federal police agencies; dozens of SWAT teams; U.S. Army Special Forces\, tribal police and more than five hundred officers from across the country followed the fugitives into a landscape only they could survive. Journalist and author Dan Schultz chronicles the events in Dead Run and ponders the allure of outlaw culture in the West and how it continues to inform national attitudes toward guns\, authority\, and unfettered freedom.

SUMMARY:The Virgin Branch Culture of Southern Nevada\, with Professor Karen Harry\, University of Nevada\, Las Vegas – History Live! Durango
DESCRIPTION:Presented by San Juan Basin Archaeological Society\nLocation: Fort Lewis College Center of Southwest Studies Lyceum or via Zoom (link at SJBAS.org)\nContact: Janice C. Sheftel\, janicesheftel@gmail.com \nProfessor Harry specializes in the study of ceramic technology\, production\, and distribution and the archaeology of the North American southwest. An area of ongoing research deals with understanding ceramic technology and use among sedentary hunter-gathers. For more than a thousand years\, the Moapa Valley of southern Nevada was home to people participating in the westernmost expression of Puebloan lifeways. Appearing in the archaeological record at about AD 200\, these individuals were members of what archaeologists refer to as the Virgin Branch Puebloan culture. This culture did not appear and progress in a vacuum\, however\, but developed and changed in response to changing environmental and social conditions. This talk covers the origin\, development\, and decline of the Lowland Virgin Branch culture while also exploring how the local cultural context affected how this trajectory unfolded. \nSince joining the UNLV faculty in 2001\, Karen has obtained more than $1.6 million in external funding\, which has provided stipends and research opportunities for numerous graduate and undergraduate students. She has authored and co-authored two books and regularly publishes in peer-reviewed books and journals\, including American Anthropologist\, American Antiquity\, Journal of Archaeological Science\, and Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory. Karen received her Ph.D\, from the University of Arizona\, Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:The Five States of Colorado Film Screening – Alamosa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. Designed for a wide range of audiences from elementary school-age to adults\, this film addresses the history and issues within the five regions of Colorado to inform\, educate\, and serve as a basis for community discussion. Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. \nThe film explores how in 1861\, the U.S. Congress carved Colorado’s boundaries representing no river\, mountain range\, tribe\, or language group to enclose five distinct areas that are now Southern Colorado; Western Colorado; the EasternPlains; the Front Range along the eastern face of the mountains; andMetropolitan Denver. Each of these regions within the state’s man-made boundaries vastly differs in terms of populations\, communities\, cultures\, communications\, and economies that have evolved from their varied geography and histories. Community conversation following the screening. \nThis event is a great opportunity to learn about Colorado\, meet fellow movie enthusiasts\, and support our local community. Don’t miss out on this exciting event! \nThank you to our partner San Luis Valley Museum.
