It s too bad, the guy said. There s just so much history being lost.
We were standing in Saint Andrew s Church in Manitou Springs. It s the big red brick one, right on Main Street, built in 1905.
He had been working to recreate the building s story, but wasn’t getting much.
That got me thinking.
Society does a pretty good job of holding onto international history like the fall of the Berlin Wall. National history, like the Battle of Gettysburg is well covered too.
But our track record isn t so hot when it comes to local history. And it s the good stuff.
