Help us grow the flock! We would love to see some more ducks joining our flock before Saturday, May 2nd. Each duck is a change to win some exciting prizes (First prize is $10,000!) and there are over 300 prizes from our wonderful small businesses in Estes Park. Your support through this great fundraiser is greatly appreciated, and a real highlight of the Estes Park summer calendar! We hope to see everyone out for a day of family fun.

To keep the Stanleys’ story alive, we must first safeguard the house that holds its story. This remarkable wood-frame home requires funding for its constant care. Great news: thanks to a generous History Colorado grant and our many amazing donors, we have replaced the roof shingles and restored the sweeping porch. But there’s more to do, and here’s where you can help.

Surrounding the Stanley Home are 256 elegant balusters (vertical posts commonly
known as spindles), 14 newel posts (rectangular posts anchoring the balusters), and 14 columns; all of these pieces are handcrafted. Each one is a piece of art and an essential part of the structure. Preserving them safeguards the house and its stories.
