Our community has been through a lot. Whether you are in survival mode, grieving, looking for ways to understand, or simply needing to share, we invite you to add your story and/or photos to this collective of community stories from the Marshall Fire. This event has left us with varying layers of experiences and emotions. All experiences and emotions are valid and welcome. 

At the Louisville Historical Museum, our mission is to collect and preserve both the historical record and the stories and lives that make up the heart and character of Louisville. Your stories help us understand the gravity and emotional spectrum of an event.

We are currently collecting stories from Marshall Fire victims that are moving back into the community in partnership with Marshall Together and the Community Foundation Boulder County.

Want to share your story in person? Sign up for a story-sharing time slot to have your story recorded with audio or video. Bring a friend or family member or come by yourself.
