Fremont County, Colorado, Fremont County Heritage Commission

The Fremont County Heritage Commission promotes local heritage tourism. The seven-member commission was officially created on September 23, 2008, through formal appointment by Fremont County Commissioners.

Over the decades, Fremont County has evolved from Native American homeland to mining boom thoroughfare and world-renowned geological site. Today, our inviting Colorado country is a year-round vacation destination and home to more than 47,000 residents. Here are a few of our favorite carefully preserved pieces of local history.
