The Historical Living Project – Historic Homes and Oral Traditions of Laramie

You're Invited to a reception and program on July 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Alice Hardie Stevens Center at the Laramie Plains Museum at the Historic Ivinson Mansion to celebrate the Historical Living Project, a video based journalism project on the historic homes and oral traditions in Laramie.

The Historical Living Project features 12 distinct homes and provides residents and visitors with a historical narrative of the Laramie community from its beginnings as a railroad town, to a thriving community that values its sustainable architecture and historic heritage, says producer Chamois Andersen, director of communications for the University of Wyoming's Environment and Natural Resources Program.

Video vignettes highlighting the style and oral history of each home are featured in a walking tour guide, accessible via mobile tags using a smartphone, while on the tour. Free brochures are available at the Albany County Visitor Bureau at 212 Custer and online at www.visitlaramie.org/hlp . The videos, audio files and feature stories are also available to view or download via the program's website.
