ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS

DECADE BY DECADE: ASPEN REVEALED AT 3PM

Aspen Revealed, a new exhibit that offers a comprehensive view of Aspen’s fascinating past.

Featuring photographs and artifacts that represent Aspen’s connection to national events and trends, the exhibition reflects on the community’s place within the larger historical landscape of the nation – sometimes congruent, sometimes divergent – but always exciting. Decade by Decade: Aspen Revealed will appeal to visitors and locals of all ages,

showcasing the depth of the AHS Collection. Limited to 6 people on a first come first served basis at the Wheeler / Stallard Museum. Directed by our Nina Gabianelli. A mask is mandatory as well as social distancing.
