This building brings back many good memories for me. I went to kindergarden when the school was located next door to the library, and it was where I got my first library card back in 1960 something or was it 1970 something. I also have fond memories of one of the Librarians, MS Rowena Mixon., she was always helpful to the kids that really loved to read.
The museum not only holds many historical artifacts – IT IS ONE!
The building started life in 1929 as the Fort Lupton Library, open to the public, Grade school, which was located next door, and the High School.
When the present High school was built in 1976 with a library attached, the library building stood empty. Over the years, a Sheriff’s sub-station had its home here along with a license bureau, Boy Scouts meeting place, the Senior Center, the Recreation Center, the Red Cross Relief Committee. Dance classes and Sunday school classes took place here too!
