Art of ranching: Douglas County 2024
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Nelson, Sean, author
The 2024 Art of Ranching (AOR) is a multi-generational project that highlights the collaborative process of preserving local ranch histories. The project engages 4-H youth, historians, and a history intern to document oral histories from historic ranches, emphasizing intergenerational learning and academic-community partnerships. The poster details the step-by-step process: youth selecting ranches, conducting background research led by the intern, and performing oral history interviews. The Penley Ranch serves as a featured case study, demonstrating the outcome of research and storytelling. The project shows the positive impact of academic engagement in rural areas, making clear the importance of preserving agricultural legacies for future generations, and the contributions it makes to the development of young professionals.
