The Conifer Area Council’s Historic Preservation Study / Action team Group was very active for several years.
They gathered information about a possible Conifer Historic District to help promote the history of the area and assist owners of historic properties obtain grants and funding. They brought together people involved in various preservation projects.
They met with new owners of the historic Bradford Junction, located at the corner of Barkley Road and Highway 73, which includes the Yellow Barn and Civil War-era well.
They shared historic information about this location, from toll road, stage stop and hotel to active ranch, plus updated them on past efforts to preserve the barn. This team’s goal was to work with the Trails Study / Action team to incorporate trails and the Conifer Historic District into the Conifer Loop Project.
The Historic Preservation Study / Action team passed on information to the Conifer Historical Society and to Jeffco Open Space and other interested groups to further the preservation efforts.
