Welcome to Colorado's Home!
Colorado First Lady Jeannie Ritter, the Centennial Committee, and History Colorado invite visitors to celebrate the 100th anniversary of “Colorado’s Home” with lectures, tours and family programs at the Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion. The Colorado Governor's Residence began as a landmark private home, was transformed into a display of old-world elegance and remains one of the west's true treasure houses as it approaches its second century. Part executive residence, part repository of museum-quality furnishings and objects d'art, the house is a meeting place for the past and the future. The Governor’s Residence Preservation Fund is hosting a year long Centennial Celebration in observance of the Mansion’s 100th Anniversary. Come join us in celebrating “Colorado’s Home” and all Colorado homes! If you are interested in volunteering your time, attending our special events, or just want more information, please contact the Governor’s Residence Preservation Fund through Cindy Starks at cindy@grpfund.org. About the Governor’s Residence Preservation Fund The Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion was originally built in 1908. In 1959 the Boettcher Foundation donated the residence to the State of Colorado. Since that time, this stately Colonial Revival mansion has served as home to Colorado’s sitting Governor and his family. The Governor’s Residence Preservation Fund was founded by Colorado First Lady Jeannie Ritter to provide foundation for the support, preservation, and awareness of "Colorado's Home." As part of the Centennial Celebration, numerous civic leaders have come together to support this initiative. If you are interested in supporting the Governor's Residence Preservation Fund, all levels of donations are welcome. Send you checks to: GRPFund
(Governor's Residence Preservation Fund) or donate via credit card to the Auxiliary Fund for the Governor's Residence at the Denver Foundation. Our e-mail address is grpfund@yahoo.com |
