Description

El Norte - Colorado & the Southwestern United States- has for centuries been a crossroads of histories, migrations, trade routes, languages, families and cultural traditions. These intersecting events have created a modern world of a tightly woven together tapestry of the lives of Spanish, Mexican and Indigenous people. Their shared history has given them a rich heritage. This is their story.

Join Angel Vigil, award-winning author, storyteller, and educator specializing in the oral traditions of the Hispanic Southwest. He has received numerous honors, including the Heritage Artist Award and the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Education. Formerly Chair of Visual and Performing Arts at Colorado Academy, he now teaches at the History Colorado Center.

Angel has written seven acclaimed books on Hispanic and Western culture and has performed at major festivals nationwide. He is also a Colorado Humanities Chautauqua scholar, portraying key historical figures from the region’s past.

Mission

The Mission of the Conifer Historical Society and Museum is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials.

Background Statement

One day, a group of Conifer residents was sitting around the dinner table together and the topic of history came up. "Do you remember who used to live on that house way down on Kuester Road? What about that old Cemetery off Pleasant Park Road? Do you know anything about that?" And so the discussion went, and The Conifer Historical Society and Museum was born. Incorporated in January 2009, we have grown and now call the former Conifer Junction Schoolhouse our home. Our purpose now is to share the region's legacy by collecting, preserving and exhibiting historical and cultural materials and provide public access to services, collections, exhibits and a research library.
