| Description: | Today's Topic: The History of Colorado
2026 marks the 150th anniversary of Colorado statehood. Join Active Minds as we explore the stories of Colorado History. You will learn about the competing claims to Colorado dating back to the Native American populations who originally lived here before the coming of European colonizers. We will also cover the 17-year struggle to become the 38th state as well as the role of mining and oil in the evolution of the state.

About Active Minds: Active Minds started in 2002 as a series of poetry classes in a church basement in Denver. Before long, it grew to include other courses focusing on contemporary global issues, historical themes, and other matters of importance. The original audience was primarily senior citizens, but over time Active Minds has grown to serve adults of all ages through programming at book stores, libraries, and corporations. Today Active Minds provides programming to over 200 organizations and has over 30 highly qualified instructors on staff. John Henderson and Zane Robertson formed Active Minds out of a deeply felt belief that lifelong learning is central to a life well lived. We are inspired by members of our own families who embodied this spirit and dedicate this work to them. |
