Broomfield on Rocky Mountain PBS

Nathan H — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:44:56 +0000

On Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 7:00PM MT, Havey Productions’ documentary, Broomfield: Spirit of the American Dream will air for the first time on Rocky Mountain PBS. Add this event to your calendar.

At the dawn of the twentieth century settlers and ranchers in the Broomfield area were drawn to the hilly land away from the growing cities for its clean air, expansive vistas and country charm. These same qualities inspired suburban pioneers in the 1950s to create a unique development on this land, featuring streets curved to the rolling contours of Broomfield Heights. Broomfield’s story reveals how Colorado’s first Master Planned Community — the city by the turnpike — embodied the new spirit of the American dream.

Add Broomfield: Spirit of the American Dream to your DVD collection.

Four-Mile House

Nathan H — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:25:59 +0000

The oldest house in Denver is not in Denver precisely, but four miles to the Southeast along Cherry Creek, at the present day intersection of East Exposition Ave. and S. Forest St. Built in 1859, the house soon became the last stop for stage coaches on their way into Denver. It was here that travelers would dust off and freshen up before making their grand entrance into the Queen City of the Plains.

Since then the house has been a wayside inn, the living quarters of a 600 acre ranching operation, and finally the center of Four Mile Historic Park, a living slice of Denver’s frontier-town past, preserved so the we can experience our shared history.

The Poundstone Amendment

Nathan H — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:06:17 +0000

In the early 1970′s, Denver was hungry for profitable annexed land at the edges of its sprawling suburbs. To stop it, Freda Poundstone led a suburban coalition to adopt a controversial amendment to the Colorado Constitution, dividing Denver from its metropolitan neighbors.

As a result, Denver’s growth switched direction from out, to up. In the years that followed, skyscrapers soared out of downtown, transforming the face of the city into what we know today.
