On October 3rd, 2000 the AHS Exhibits Committee met with the design team from LORD Cultural Resources to work on the development of a major exhibition which opened on December 19, 2001.

The "Spirit of Aspen" exhibit takes an unusual approach to telling Aspen's story by focusing thematically on the character and spirit of the community throughout its 100+ year history.

LORD worked with AHS on theme structure and reviewed artifacts and collections to determine what items best support the story we wanted to tell.

Technical expert, Barry Crean, reviewed renovation of the Wheeler/Stallard Museum and advised us with regard to audio and video wiring.
