Happy semiquincentennial! On this episode of Common Air, Susan Jones, collections manager at the Animas Museum joins us to dive more into the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of the Independence and the major moments happening in our region.

Susan discusses the history of our region and how it ties to our state history and our nation's history. She also highlights the exhibits at the museum, including "Moments That Made US", "Animas City, Looking Down on Durango since 1876", as well as "Crossroads: 1776–2026".
