Rio Blanco County Historical Society was awarded a CRAFT Mentor program by the Colorado Tourism Office in the spring of 2015. The objective of this CRAFT Mentor program was to create a strategic plan to develop a cultural heritage center.

Located in The Great West, Rio Blanco County Historical Society’s mission is to preserve the rich heritage of the White River Valley by capturing oral history, maintaining the White River Museum, protecting and interpreting historic sites and providing historic education.

Each year, the Colorado tourism industry nominates tourism employees to be recognized as Outstanding Frontline Tourism Workers in celebration of National Travel and Tourism Week. These nominees are people who do an outstanding job of welcoming visitors to our state and providing them with the best experiences possible. This year, we received more nominees than ever before from a variety of industries who have created unforgettable experiences for our visitors.
