"High Country": The Making Of
This week's History at Home features filmmakers Conor Hagen and Ali Batwin sharing clips and stories from their film "High Country." Entrenched in nostalgia, "High Country" tells a timeless American story of how a community of conscientious and forward-thinking young people, disguised as ski bums and hippies, happened upon a ramshackle mining town on the fringe of society and worked to conserve and protect it for years. The film features oral histories from many Crested Butte long-time locals who helped mold the place we call home. Join us Thursday at 7pm online to learn all about this film and how it informs our understanding of local history.
Through History at Home, the museum aims to connect you with our history and with each other. We aim to bring a diverse array of voices to dig into history from different perspectives. You'll be surprised by what you learn!
