Historic Greeley

In May, we are collaborating with the Greeley Creative District to bring you Preservation Around Town, a historic preservation exhibition at the Greeley Creative Arts Center! The show will kick off this Friday (May 1) during the First Friday Art Walk with refreshments and a reception from 5-8pm in the GCAC's Wardell Gallery.

The show will highlight preservation methods, some of Historic Greeley's most impressive historic saves, and provide information on how you can help advocate for our community's historic architecture. We hope to see you there!

Looking for ways to get hands-on with historic preservation? Our friends at HistoriCorps are looking for volunteers for their project to restore the historic Buckhorn Work Center in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests & Pawnee National Grassland. This program will be a fun, impactful, active way to help preserve our region's history. Those interested in applying to volunteer can read more on the HistoriCorps website:

On December 16, the Greeley City Council voted to deny Historic Greeley's nomination of City Hall (the iconic "Round Building") to the Greeley historic register, and move ahead with plans to demolish and replace it with a county-owned parking lot. This decision adds the Round Building to a tragically-long list of structures in our city that have been demolished, rather than adapted and reused, in the name of development. Many of the buildings you see here were also demolished in favor of parking lots, though they are sadly only a small sample of the historic buildings in Greeley that have been lost to demolition. These devastating losses to local history and architecture are the driving force behind our commitment to advocate for Greeley's existing historic structures.
