We work with local groups and neighborhoods.
We do fun and educational events, such as guided walking tours, workshops on Saturday mornings, dinners in old houses, and all-day fairs with lots of presentations and exhibitors.
We do serious business, too, by bringing attention to houses scheduled for demolition, neighborhoods trying to protect themselves from development, and information about Denver’s new zoning code, Blueprint Denver.
We offer lots of resources and reference material, and a section on old-houses for sale.
Lots of volunteer opportunities are available. We recognize all volunteer efforts and present awards to those who have done an exceptional job in educating home owners, protecting neighborhoods and a grand award for an extraordinary job in elevating the perception and preservation of old houses and neighborhoods.
We want to invite you to join us as a founding member, to enjoy all of the benefits of membership, and have the satisfaction and recognition as one of our first supporters. We will recognize all who become members between August 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009. Your membership gift supports The Old House Fair –plus workshops, neighborhood tours and practical information – uniting brand new owners of old houses and veterans who’ve worked for years on their old house or a whole neighborhood.
Please join us.
