Fort Collins Museum and Discovery Science Center to Merge. We're Better Together! Current HappeningsPoor of Me, Good of Dog: The May Wilkins Collection opened June 6
If, as we say, a picture is worth a thousand words, what stories does an 80 year old snapshot have to tell us about the moment captured within it? What personal and historical details are reflected in objects saved over an individual's lifetime? Explore these questions and more in the Fort Collins Museum exhibit, Poor of Me, Good of Dog: The May Wilkins Collection. Soapstone Prairie Natural AreaThe Fort Collins Museum, in conjunction with the Natural Areas Department, is working on an Oral History Project to capture the stories of the many people who have used the Soapstone Prairie land. Supported by a Preserve America grant from the National Park Service, this project will tell the stories of the Natives, ranchers, homesteaders and others who have used the land.
