Saguache Volunteer Day a Huge Success!

On October 3rd over fifty volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got to work revitalizing buildings in historic Saguache. The project was coordinated by the newly created HistoriCorps and by the Endangered Places Program, both initiatives of Colorado Preservation, Inc.  Partner groups included the United States Forest Service, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, Saguache’s RSVP Volunteer group and the Saguache County Sustainable Environment and Economic Development Organization.

In the course of one day, volunteers:

• painted the facades of five commercial buildings of 4th Street (the main street of Saguache
• replaced four rotten vigas on two 1930s CCC-constructed historic Forest Service buildings
• scraped and painted windows on the historic 1930s Forest Service garage
