COLUMBUS - Columbus Historical Preservation Trust (CHPT) gathered
on July 12 for a community summer social hour at the newly opened Magnolia Society in Columbus. CHPT gave an update on what they have been up to and what they have planned for the upcoming year. Missy Parker shared about the upcoming 'Seasons of Colorado County' book that CHPT is working on and gave the crowd information about how anyone can par ticipate. CHPT is also undergoing a huge push to 'Save Our Operahouse' as many renovations and updates are critical for the continued use of the historic Stafford Opera House.
The mission of the CHPT is to main - tain, preserve and present historic sites in Columbus for the appreciation and education of the public; stimulate interest and enhance understanding for the heritage of Columbus; present cultural events that further the purpose of the organization; encourage tourism in Columbus; and promote volunteerism that furthers the purpose of the organization.
The CHPT also hosts events such as the "Seasons of Colorado County" book and other fun activities that encourage the community to become involved. If you want to donate to the cause, please contact the Columbus Historical Preservation Trust at columbushpt.com or call (979) 732-5135 for more information.
