What We Do
Preserve and Protect the Historic Character of Routt County through Action, Advocacy, and Education
Historic Routt County (HRC) is the award-winning local non-profit voice for the preservation and recognition of Routt County’s historic places and cultural landscapes. We work with willing property owners and the community to help save the places YOU love.
For more than 20 years HRC has been the leading resource for the preservation and documentation of the historic places and cultural landscapes of Routt County, Colorado. We began in 1997 as a grassroots organization of inspired community members who saw a need to preserve the historic resources in Routt County. Since then, the organization has grown in both scope and size, directly protecting historic places through its programs.
