Fremont County Historical Society

What is the Fremont County Historical Society?

The Fremont County Historical Society is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with tax deductible dues. The FCHS Board of Directors hold monthly meetings and publish newsletters every other month on heritage topics.

Meetings for members are programs presented with historical content at the Steeple Event Center, 7th and Macon, Cañon City, CO. These meetings are held at 2:00 PM six times a year on the third Sunday of January, March, May, July, September and November. Everyone is invited.

Board meetings are the second Monday of every month at the Steeple Event Center at 1pm. Everyone is welcome.

The newsletter is published and sent to all members prior to the program.

The original collection of documents and artifacts that comprise the general resource in the Royal Gorge Regional Museum & History Center was donated by the Fremont/Custer Historical Society (now the Fremont County Historical Society) in early 1993. The history center has since expanded into a very extensive base of documents now available to the general public for research and reading. It is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
