Restoration Day - September 10, 2016

We recently had an opportunity to get out and enjoy the sunshine while helping a worthy cause.  The Western Museum of Mining and Industry held a fundraising event to restore the Reynolds Ranch House - the last remaining house from the town of Husted, CO (the town was torn down to build the United States Air Force Academy).


 Included in the State Register of Historic Properties in 1997, the Reynolds Ranch House has two distinctive characteristics. First, it is a Queen Anne Farmhouse in a rural setting. Second, it is the last vestige of the once-thriving community of Husted, a former Denver & Rio Grande railroad supply town and depot. Prior to the museum’s ownership, nine different families owned the house. The Previous owners have made minor modification over the years. The museum intends to restore the home as an 1894 Queen Anne farmhouse before providing tours and other interpretive activities.
 
In all, we had participation from 3 Model A clubs in the area, with a total of 15 Model A's (if you count the one converted into a Hot Rod - can you pick it out in the pictures?), as well as 5 Model T's, a 1940 V8 Ford and 8 antique tractors!
 
In addition, this event coincided with the 2016 International Model A Day!  What a wonderful opportunity to join in with our community and promote history, learn about and see in operational use restored antiques from America’s past.
 
Clubs participating:
Pikes Peak Model A Ford Club
Rocky Mountain A's
High Plains A's
Front Range Antique Power Association
