A quick find in the heart of Lowry!
Originally Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Ute, and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ land.
This East Denver neighborhood was established in 1994 when Lowry Air Force Base closed. Here's some cool facts:
- Lowry Field was named for 2nd Liutenent Francis Lowry, the only Colorado pilot killed in WWI
- The base was used for training during WWII and the Cold War.
- From 1952 - 1953, Lowry AFB was the summer White House for President Dwight D. Eisenhower
- It was also the initial site of the U.S. Air Force Academy from 1955-1958
- The former Hangar #1 is now the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum (you can see it from the cache!)
