Wanting to cut back on Social Media? Needing to take a break, but not sure how to get our information if you do?
All of the updates we post on FB and Instagram are also on our HistoricPalisade.org website! We have a Social Media Tab here: https://www.historicpalisade.org/index.php/social-media/
💖🍑🍇You won’t be missing out on anything.🍇🍑💖
Wanna know a secret? Some of us who create content on this page aren’t personally on Social Media! Yes, it’s true.
Social Media can be a polarizing topic. Some people never got into it or ditched it ages ago, and on the other end of the spectrum, some people use it as their only source of local news & events. There are many pros & cons to the various levels of Social Media usage, but one thing is true: to each their own.
We want to meet people where they are, so we’re planning to keep these platforms updated as best we can, but we understand 💯 if someone doesn’t want to go to FB or Instagram or needs to take a break.
💖🍑🍇Either way works! We’ve got you covered. 🍇🍑💖

January 18, 2025:
62 years ago this week, Palisade and the Grand Valley suffered a massive loss.
Look at these temperatures! Local reports say the temperature dropped from 50 degrees to -20 degrees in a matter of hours. (Yes, that’s NEGATIVE 20!!) Locals around at the time have said they could actually hear the sap bursting in the trees. This drastic drop in temperature destroyed nearly all of the peach trees in the valley.
This moment can be marked as the point in time when everything changed for some growers and their families. It would take some decades to recover, and some never did. Some had to shift completely.
As you can see in these clippings from the January 18, 1963 Palisade Tribune issue, Palisade knew disaster had befallen the orchards, but the full picture of devastation wouldn’t truly be seen until later in the season.
Can you imagine?
Have you heard stories?
Were you here when it happened?

It’s hard to believe it’s been two months since Rocky Mountain PBS was in Palisade for the Premier of The Colorado Experience – Palisade Peaches (S11 Ep8), the finale of the season!
🍑They saved the sweetest for last!
Our very own Priscilla Walker, founding chair of the Palisade Historical Society, was part of a Q&A Panel that was live-streamed after the episode.
🍑Here is a direct link to the Q&A Event on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/FwjNhnFnL-8

🍑 …and is the name of the dominant early variety of peach that was grown here (Elberta),
💖 …and did you know it was named after the original grower’s wife? (Elberta!)

January 9, 2025:
Why do we ask for money?
When are we going to be self-sufficient?
These are important questions, but they need context. For a non-profit, 501(c)(3), being “self-sufficient” means being willing and able to ask our community for help, whether it’s in the form of time or money. In order to exist, we rely on the kindness & generosity of others.
We have zero paid employees. Admission to the Museum, our History Talks & Events, and our Walking Tour Brochures are free.
Donations are not only appreciated, they are necessary, because even if things are “free,” there is a price-tag attached somewhere along the way.
The better question is, “Are we responsible stewards of these gifts of time and money?”
The answer is a resounding YES.
There are six directors on the Palisade Historical Society Board, and all of us understand the importance of what we have been given. Every hour, every dollar, is hard-earned by someone important who is giving of themselves, and for that, we are humbled and incredibly grateful.
We don’t waste money. Despite working with the past, we plan for the future as best we can. Today is tomorrow’s history. We run a tight ship, because we have to, in order to keep our vision and mission of collecting, preserving, and communicating the unique history of this special town of Palisade alive. 💖🍑🍇

This ad was in the January 9, 1925 Palisade Tribune. We love little snapshots of what life was like in Palisade a hundred years ago!
🛍️🥫💰Look at the cost of groceries! (12 POUNDS of sugar was $1.00! A can of pink salmon was $0.18, and $1.20 would get you a HUNDRED POUNDS of potatoes!) My, how things have changed over the last 100 years.
💖 Fun History Fact: The B & R Store was where the West Slope Mercantile (The Merc on Main Street here in Palisade) is today! We have some fun pictures of the inside of this store, and they were recently featured at one of our monthly History Talks.

On this day, January 5, 1923, this was a front page ad in The Palisade Tribune. Yes, that’s 102 years ago!
💖 Imagine making supper on this stove, “the best range on the market.” Look at the details & features! Look at her clothing! Do you see the price of the newspaper? ($2 for the year, if paid in advance.)
❗Fun History Fact: The J. W. Hugus & Co. building is where The Blue Pig Gallery is now, the big brick building at the corner of 3rd and Main, right here in Palisade. (If you ever hear us talking about “The Hugus Building,” that’s what we mean.)

Jan. 4, 2025: Let’s go on another time-travel adventure, this time in real estate! 120 years ago, some of these lots were still available! Palisade, recognize this area?
Eagle Eyes will notice this Fun History Fact: Iowa Ave was once called Grand Ave!
Bonus Fun History Facts:
❓Why Grand? The Colorado River was called the Grand River, until 1921 when the name was changed to the Colorado River. In fact, “Grand Junction” is named for the junction of the Grand and Gunnison Rivers!
❓Why Iowa? Thousands of the pioneers in this valley were from Iowa! There were so many, in fact, that Palisade held an Iowa Days celebration every year, for many years.

Why is the Palisade Historical Society including the front page of the December 27, 1974 issue in our time-travels? Do you know how old something has to be before it is considered to be archaeological? You guessed it: FIFTY YEARS. What!? Yes, it’s true!

‼️Bonus Fun History Fact: The Bank of Palisades is plural! Just like Palisades National Bank! The name was established before Palisade was Palisade, and it would have cost them too much to drop the ‘s’ at the end.

💖”The steadfast loyalty of the people of this community…”💖
If that doesn’t sum up the people of Palisade, we don’t know what does! 📰 These clippings are from the December 10, 1920 issue of The Palisade Tribune. 📰 This issue is 104 years old, but the sentiment still applies today!
‼️Fun History Fact:‼️
There is NOT a typo in this ad. The Palisades National Bank building is at the corner of Main & Third here in Palisade (Where the Palisade Chamber of Commerce is currently located.)
Yes, it’s Palisades with an “s”…! Why?
Palisade was named after the Bookcliffs or “palisades” north of town. It was referred to as “Palisades” by the locals until it was officially incorporated on April 4, 1904 when they dropped the “s,” making it “Palisade.” Well, the Palisades National Bank was already in business and discovered it would cost $500 to change the name, so they kept it! ($500 is a lot of money and was certainly a LOT of money in 1904!)
One of our major projects at the Palisade Historical Society is the digitization of the Palisade Tribunes. They are in a FREE searchable database. Currently, you can search from the first issue of June 6, 1903 up to December 25, 1986, with more on the way!

🌟🎄🎅 The Palisade Parade of Lights was SO MUCH FUN last night!
Palisade Historical Society Chair JoAnn & volunteer Claire Elise Rasmussen led the way in the golf cart (special thanks to director Ralph Branch for providing the wheels!).
Tom Schaffer drove the 1923 Star Open Delivery Truck and posed with Craig Clarke and Joe Higginbotham of the Western Colorado Shrine Club as we were lining up. The Star truck was made by Durant Motors, which was created in 1922 by Billy Durant, the original founder of General Motors. The Star would have been seen in the 1920’s bringing fruits and vegetables from farms to the market.
Founding Chair Priscilla Walker and volunteer Dave Cecuga were in the 1930 Model A Ford, with Santa and Mrs. Claus, portrayed by Pete and Wanda Robinson, Palisade Historical Society members, in the rumble seat!
Priscilla’s family has owned this 1930 Model A coupe since 1963. Freddie Ford, as it was nicknamed when she drove it to Palisade High School, mostly does parade duty now.

December 5, 2024: 🎅🤶🎄 Join us for the Palisade Parade of Lights on Friday!! 🎅🤶🎄
These pictures are from last year’s parade. (Has it already been a YEAR!?) Stay tuned for new pictures tomorrow! You’ll see us in spot #11!
