Photo Book Project
Project Details
For more than 200 years, people have called Colorado County home. From its towering live oaks, fertile soil, shaded banks of the twisting Colorado River, and abundant wildlife, the draw to the area by early settlers is easy to understand. Today, residents praise the warm hospitality, welcoming smiles, and friendly small-town atmosphere.
To celebrate our love of Colorado County, Columbus Historical Preservation Trust has created a one-of-a-kind, photographic celebration of our community. Seasons of Colorado County, a true community project, is a stunning coffee table book featuring photographs highlighting all areas of Colorado County through the changing of the seasons. The photos selected for the book were expertly curated by designer and publisher Jerry Herring. Seasons of Colorado County is a piece of art to be treasured by all who view its pages.
Seasons of Colorado County features essays from The Honorable Ty Prause, Sandra C. Thomas, PhD, Ester Chandler, Charlotte Tilotta, Karen Beken, Robby Cook, Thomas B. Hancher, MD, and James Kearney, PhD. and more than 200 photos from 70 community members. Pre-sale orders will begin Summer 2024.
