Well Here we are at the Historic Park back to the same schedule open on Fridays from 10-3. Come down and see us.  The Baugh House is open by appt. 

The Christmas  Party was a huge success. Many old friends we have not seen in years.  We had a great time decorating two trees.  One live tree which is now planted in Historic Park and one artificial on loan from Kimary Marchese, and friend Luke..  Doris Ibbison is looking very spunk;y and was joined by her son Bruce and His Wife.  Clark Stone's Daughter Virgin husband John Eckert joined us, Lynn Grahman and Her Son, Bob Olsen is over the flu and joined  in the fesivities. Janelle and Paul Shaver joined later in the evening,  Elizabeth Benson Chris Moyer and Friend, John and Chris Ross, Clay and Claudia Worth,Charlotte and Don Whetsell and all the way from the Ukrain Ordarka, her mother Marie and her brother. Janice Horn helped with the decorations and hosting. There might have been people that we have missed and we apologize. All  in all the food was delicious and the evening was delightful. 

We had victorian furniture in the living room, Thank you Clay and Claudia for lending the settee, and two chairs for the occasion.  Drapes and Curtains are up at the parlor and dining room windows.  Lovely classic rugs are in the dining room and living room.  Ruth Richarson's parents dining room table is in the dining room and looks quite classic all polished and shining with a new table cloth on it.  Lovely found chairs from the Richards Hart Estate are on loan from  the City and do add to the decor and are much appreciated.

We do have a small amount of money to purchase additional artifacts for the House.  We would like to have period furniture from Wheat Ridge with a history to them. 

Our Wish List:

Front Parlor: 1800's Settee, and appropriate chairs.  End tables and lamps. And some nice and period accessories.

Dining Room: 1800's: A buffet or sideboard, perhaps a secetary and china closet.

Cabin: 1860's  Appropriate dishes skillets dutch oven, coffee pots etc.

Second Story Bedrooms 1940's: 2 beds 1940 toys.  We know in the boys bedroom had airplane wall paper. Appopriate quilts and bedding.  We have a dresser that needs restoring for the girls bedroom. dresser  Pillows scarfs curtains. ect.

We would like to connect the furnishings with the people who lived in Wheat Ridge so stories with the items would be nice. 

We need to get permission from the State Historical Fund to attach anything to the building. We do not see a problem with this and are looking forward to working with them.
