The City of Boulder is partnering with Tribal Representatives and involving community members to design an interpretive experience at the Fort Chambers / Poor Farm site to share history and provide spaces for learning and reflection. Thank you, for all the input and feedback.

The 113-acre Fort Chambers/Poor Farm property is historically significant due to its ties to the Sand Creek Massacre, and it is also rich in ecological and agricultural value. Detailed information about the site’s background can be found on the Fort Chambers / Poor Farm Site Information Story Map.

The City of Boulder is currently Identifying Themes and Priorities. This phase of the project builds on community input gathered earlier this year where community members were asked to share their ideas, stories, and perspectives for interpretative elements. Stories submitted online can be viewed below (under the “Stories” tab). The trail is a key element of a collaborative stewardship plan developed with Arapaho and Cheyenne Tribal Representatives last year.
