We have enjoyed working with two interns from the CSU History Dept. this summer. One has written a Site Management Plan for the museum and the other has helped with community outreach.  They have also done extra things like getting a draft horse model donated from the Longmont Agricultural Heritage Center., and are putting together clothing exhibits for Pioneer Living Day on Sept 25 from 10 to 3.
