Welcome to my blog of old Colorado photos. I’ve always loved old photos, and given my interest in history, it was probably inevitable that I would be drawn to the idea of collecting old images of the Colorado town where I grew up, i.e., Fort Lupton. Fort Lupton sits on the South Platte River, about halfway between Denver and Greeley, at the western edge of the Great Plains.

I grew up feeling more connected to the eastern half of the state than to the western half. Maybe that was because I knew the plains were just out the back door of Fort Lupton, so to speak, or simply because I was more familiar with the names of towns to the east. So, a few years ago, when I decided to expand my collecting beyond Fort Lupton, I leaned east. Since then, though, I’ve gotten the bug for expanding my collection to the entire state. You'll find that, in its current state, my blog is weighted toward images of Fort Lupton, eastern and northern Colorado, but that will shift as I steadily add images from the Colorado Rockies and western slope.

I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy building and tending to it. Please feel free to leave comments!
