Glen Haven Historical Society
Mission:
Our mission is to Collect, Preserve, and Share the unique history of the people and land of the Glen Haven area, and promote our sense of community.
We provide monthly programs, exhibits, photographs, research archives, museum, and educational programs for the benefit of its members, residents, other Northern Coloradoans, and visitors.
For the purposes of the GHHS, the Glen Haven area is comprised of the watershed of the North Fork of the Big Thompson River. It is a haven nestled in the glen along Larimer County Road 43, with Drake on the east and the crest of the switchbacks on the west.
Vision:
The vision of the Glen Haven Historical Society (GHHS) is for the people of the community to be drawn together through the history and sense-of-place of this haven in the glen. Its ambience, personality, heritage, and physical characteristics are unique and must be retained and shared.
GHHS will be sponsoring social events and developing and sharing its historical records to achieve this vision. Its membership will be increasing, and most of the local residents participating in its social events and programs. A museum with an emphasis on multimedia interactive exhibits will be created, be easily accessible, and be widely visited. It will include a gift shop which features local artisan's works.
The society's archives will be safely catalogued, stored electronically on CDROM and physically in files. They will serve as an important research resource for scholars, students, researchers, and other qualified individuals. New material will be continually added as current and prior residents of the area contribute their photos and stories to the archives.
Finally, GHHS will be collaborating with other organizations to provide regular, quality historical education programs to students and make those programs available to other interested groups.
