Join AHS for a stroll around Aspen’s heart and soul and a crown jewel of the city’s park system. Since the mining era, Wagner park has hosted the community’s comings-and-goings: from daily dog walkers to annual rugby tournaments to internationally renowned chefs under the Food and Wine tents. We’ll walk the historical gathering place and nearby area with many stories to share along the way!

The History in Your Backyard series features short lunch-hour programs to explore the stories of familiar places in the Aspen area.

Meet at Wagner Park

This brief program takes place on grass, sidewalks, and pedestrian areas along Durant Ave.
