Join us on Preservation Oaks as we explore the most fascinating museums and historical societies across the U.S.!

Episode 119 of Preservation Oaks takes us into the foothills of Colorado to explore the history of Conifer, a community shaped not by a central main street, but by people, travel routes, and shared experience. Board member Christa Johnson joins us from the Conifer Historical Society to discuss how local history is preserved through places like the Little White Schoolhouse and why community storytelling matters more than ever.
