The Lost Book of Astrid Lee
A three-week-long city-wide mystery-quest stretching back from 1980s Denver, into the 1920s, stopping in the late 60s, then all the way back again. The quest was a way to hear music from local musicians and a chance to see all-original creations from artists.
The goal was to connect regular people to connect and have a say in the decisions, storytelling, and culture work of their community.
The John Denver Experience
During the summer of 2020, History Colorado had planned to create a fully immersive installation called The John Denver Experience. In this space, adirondack chairs would sit upon large hills covered in fake grass in the History Colorado atrium. Fields of wildflowers and small stations where you could push a button and you could hear a bit of one of John Denver’s songs play though a tinny radio dotted the edges. A large elk wrapped in pastels as a centerpiece. Unfortunately, the events of spring 2020 drastically changed this from a fully immersive experience to a small display.
