Programs

When Pueblo School District 60 switched to four-and-a-half school days and then to four days, "Hands on History" was organized by the museum to help working parents give their children a place to go on Friday afternoons after school was out. The program then expanded to a full day on Fridays and also now has a summer program. [33] The successful program has expanded to other Colorado cities as well, including Trinidad, Fort Garland, Platteville and Montrose. [24] [34]
