JULY 31 – The Untold Asian American Story of Fort Collins

Long before Fort Collins became the city we know today, Chinese and Japanese immigrants were building railroads, running local businesses, and working the sugar beet fields — quietly shaping the early foundations of the community.  At 6 pm Thursday, July 31, the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures will host a special program sharing the often overlooked history of Asian Americans in Fort Collins. In partnership with the Fort Collins Historic Preservation Services Division, the Museum’s presentation will detail the early contributions of Asian immigrants in the region. Admission to the presentation is $10 per person, and registration is requested. All are welcome to attend this important exploration of Fort Collins’ rich, complex, and ever-evolving heritage.
