Commission plans walking tours, postcards and outreach for Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month
Summary
Commission discussed promotional outreach for May’s Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month, recommending continuation of the walking‑tour postcards, coordination with the historical society and Parks & Rec, and possible banners and wayfinding integration.
Staff reminded the commission that May is Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month and recounted last year’s outreach, which included a walking‑tour postcard with QR codes linking to survey entries.
Commissioners recommended continuing the walking tour as the primary public outreach tool, updating postcards after the next survey, and collaborating with the historical society, Parks & Recreation and Carbondale Arts on wayfinding and banners. Staff noted that some suggestions from History Colorado were included in the meeting packet and that staff time is limited this month; commissioners encouraged volunteer support or using a portion of the commission’s budget for materials next year.
The group also discussed developing a signage/wayfinding plan that could point visitors to the Thompson House and other local historic sites; staff said Parks & Recreation and other town partners are already working on wayfinding and the commission could participate in steering discussions.
No formal outreach plan was adopted at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to follow up on banner progress and to coordinate with the historical society for upcoming community events.
