Lecture Series: Teddy Roosevelt and the American West

Andrew Gulliford, Professor of History and Environmental Studies at Fort Lewis College in Durango, will speak about President Theodore Roosevelt’s youth, his passion for the West, his indomitable Western spirit, and his impact on national parks and national monuments. Visitors will understand the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt on wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and public lands in the American West. Guests will come away with new knowledge about Teddy’s travels in Colorado and the Teddy Bear truth (make sure to bring yours!). It will be a BULLY!!! time for all who attend.
All the lectures are free to attend. Seating is limited and is first come, first serve. For indoor lectures, please leave your pets and food at home. Doors open at 11:45am to allow staff and our speaker time to set up.
