Make the Case for Preservation

Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) exists because Colorado’s historic places matter—and because you care enough to protect them. From historic schools and main streets to sacred landscapes and cultural landmarks, CPI protects the sites and stories that connect Colorado’s past to the present. 

Next year, Colorado marks historic milestones that define both our state and our nation. From Colorado’s 150th year of statehood, to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the 60th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, which established protections for historic and archaeological sites nationwide, these anniversaries remind us of the value of our past and the importance of safeguarding Colorado’s heritage for the future. By preserving the places that tell Colorado’s diverse stories, CPI ensures that history continues to bring us together, strengthen our communities, and inspire those who call Colorado home.
