For millennia indigenous peoples have made the region that comprises present-day NE Colorado, SE Wyoming, and W Nebraska their home. It wasn’t until the early 18th century when the first recorded Europeans passed through. It is only ironic that the earliest encounters between the two groups were contentious as that is how their relationship, and that with the Euro-Americans who entered the region much later, would largely be characterized.
The human story of this tri-state region is one of hope, despair, heroics, and shame. It contains elements of triumph and tragedy, gain and loss. Throughout it all was an omnipresent clash of cultures whose differences determined the course of events. Yet, despite the maelstrom of emotions elicited by all of it, the story persists, has shaped, and continues to shape, the region in which those of us who are inhabitants, call home.
At Traces of the Past History Tours, we endeavor to impart the rich story of the region through informative and engaging van tours that take travelers to several historically meaningful sites. Visiting the selected site locations and listening to the tour guide narrative will enlighten and open your eyes to the land, people, and events that comprise the region’s history. We believe that education and fun are one in the same. If you feel the same, then we invite you come aboard, step into history, and experience for yourself the traces of the past.
