A Look Back -- 1960's in North Boulder



This weekend Historic Boulder celebrates an era with an exciting tour of seven 1960 homes located in the heart of the City.  The tour, Landmarks of the Future, will be this Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st from 11:00 to 4:00.

The homes on the tour represent a special era, and have been updated, restored and re-purposed while maintaining many original features and the existing scale of the neighborhood.  Experts and other professionals will be on hand to provide information.  And, look for the vintage cars that have been lent for the occasion.

This is a self guided tour, and participants will be able to explore at their own pace innovative, stunning transformations of homes that are exemplars of style, scale and sustainability.

Old North Boulder's oldest home and undisputed Landmark of the Past, the Decker-Tyler House, 2940 20th Street,  will serve as the "tour center" where tickets can be purchased.  It is the one exception to the era represented, built nearly 100 years prior to the 1960's.

We look forward to seeing you on the tour.  Also offered this week is a free lecture "The History & Evolution of Old North Boulder"  It will be held at the Museum of Boulder, 2205 Broadway,  on Thursday, April 28th from 6:00 to 7:30.
