Join us for our first History Hike of the year! Whether you call it Guthiel Gardens, Army Hospital #21, Fitzsimons or Anschutz - That piece of land has gone through a lot of changes in the past century. Learn more about the history of the base, it's buildings and it's people while strolling around the campus.

History Hikes are monthly opportunities May through October to learn about Aurora while outside. We go to relevant sites to explore topics from sod houses to military history. Each event is about 60-90 minutes with content written for adults. All event, aside from August's hike, are free.
