Breckenridge town representatives will be touting the town’s 150th anniversary celebration, its policy for solar panels in the historic district and more in downtown Denver next week.
The 12th annual Saving Places conference, hosted by Colorado Preservation, will occur Feb. 4-6 at the historic 1770 Sherman Street Event Complex.
A workshop Feb. 4 will include representatives of Breckenridge and four other ski towns regarding pressing preservation issues.
“The workshop begins to create the coalitions that are the theme of this year’s conference,” Colorado Preservation executive director Mary Allman-Koernig said in a press release.
At a forum titled “Historic Buildings: Greener Than Green,” Breckenridge town planner Julia Puester will have a presentation on the town’s use of solar panels in the historic district, according to town spokeswoman Kim DiLallo.
Breckenridge Heritage Alliance representatives will also be providing information on the Breck 150 celebration.
“We'll have all these events spring, summer and early fall for people to come up and see what we have to offer from a historical sense,” said BHA executive director Linda Kay Peterson.
She said representatives intend “to impart to fellow attendees how aggressive the town has been in preserving its historic artifacts — whether (that) would be a privy or a house or a cabin.”
She said that where historic structures in other parts of the state are deteriorating, those of historic relevance for Breckenridge have been “very carefully guarded.”
The conference is one of the largest historic preservation conferences in the United States, attracting more than 1,000 participants.
“The conference program will present the newest technology and techniques, as well as basic courses for newcomers to preservation,” according to the press release.
Speakers are to include former Gov. Richard Lamm and David Carroll, executive director of the Western Museum of Mining and Industry.
The latest list of Endangered Places in Colorado is to be released at a Feb. 5 luncheon.
