Reminiscence – January-May 2025

Reminiscence is a story of our not-so-distant past. It is a story of Colorado, of the people who settled here in prospect for riches and a mining boom that drastically shaped the social and economic landscape of the state. It speaks of a time that was fast and furious, and most of its mark faded back into the landscape almost as quickly as it rose out of it. A reminder of what it took to carve out an existence in these beautiful, but hard and deadly mountains.

Acquirement of Culture

Margaret Brown was a privileged and enthusiastic traveler who reveled in the freedoms of being abroad. In her time, women were redefining their place in the world, becoming experts and explorers. However, the United States also passed many anti-immigration acts during her lifetime and saw significant moments of discrimination, racism, and hatred towards immigrant communities.

Margaret’s travel souvenirs help us see how culture shapes identity and how racist practices have created problematic representations in America’s past. Her identity as a second-generation Irish American can also help us reflect on the overall culture and attitude towards persons immigrating to the United States.
