Theresa Koenigsknecht: The Telluride Historical Museum

Approaching Telluride from Society Turn is a magical feeling for the new comer and old-timer alike. Seasons reveal either meadows with elk and scampering prairie dogs or an icy winter wonderland surrounded by snowy sandstone cliffs. This breathtaking valley floor corridor is the natural gateway to our box canyon town. In this program of Voices of the Valley we speak with Theresa Koenigsknecht, director of programs and exhibits at the Telluride Historical Museum where she discusses the new exhibit: The Valley Floor: Changing Identities of a Telluride Treasure. This exhibit explores the history of the Telluride valley from its geological formation to the modern-day preservation of The Valley Floor. With breathtaking photos and hands-on interactives including a beaver lodge replica, this exhibit is fun and educational for the whole family!
