Cache la Poudre National Heritage Area Film Debut
Thursday, September 21, 2006, 05:30 PM

Described by many as both wild and majestic, the Cache la Poudre River has been an essential part of life in Northern Colorado and has played a significant role in the development of water law in the Western United States.

Among the first to be established west of the Mississippi, Congress designated the Cache la Poudre River Corridor as a National Heritage Area “to provide for the interpretation…of the unique and significant contributions to our national heritage of cultural and historic lands, waterways and structures within the Corridor.”

In its recent history, the Poudre witnessed the evolution of highly sophisticated water storage and delivery systems. The film uses historic as well as current photos to highlight the beauty and historical significance of the area.

Join us on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 5:30 p.m. in the Cherokee Park Ballroom of the Lory Student Center for Dr. Susan Boyle's presentation of this landmark film.

Free and open to the public.  Refreshments to follow.
