Help Me Find The Signs
I hope this map will help you find the map locations more easily. The sign locations may not be completely accurate. Please be advised that you may need to look around a little bit. It’s actually kind of fun trying to find them! How many can you find?
It's fun!
Just like geocaching, the search for these signs is a bit of an adventure!

Image Requests
Please consider the following image requests when photographing the historic markers. Be sure to email images to coloradosignproject@gmail.com with location information as soon as you are able to. This helps me to ensure that signs that have already been photographed are marked promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are you asking for?
I am putting together a current photo inventory of the signs. I would love photos of the front and back of the signs. If there is information about who is responsible for the sign’s maintenance, a close-up image would be great. A few detail photos of the sign’s frame and panels are very helpful.
What do I do with the photos?
Please email them to me at coloradosignproject@gmail.com. Any extra information about the sign’s location would be helpful as well.
What will the photos be used for?
Establishing a good inventory of the signs and their condition is the first step in getting them updated. I will be using the photos to demonstrate need to those that may be able to fund this effort, and they may be used to help determine the order in which the signs receive updates.
What’s next?
I am currently holding meetings with everyone that I can in order to establish connections between the departments that need to be in communication in order to address these signs.
What else can I do?
I am collecting letters addressed to those who make the decision regarding funding the maintenance of these signs. If you would like to add your voice to those letters, please send yours to coloradosignproject@gmail.com. Thank you!
