Historic places don't preserve themselves.
Many of the museums and historic sites we visit rely on dedicated staff, volunteers, memberships, and generous donations to care for the buildings, artifacts, and stories that make our communities unique.
If you've enjoyed one of our investigations or simply appreciate the opportunity to explore these remarkable places, we encourage you to consider supporting our community partners.
Your contribution helps preserve local history, maintain historic collections, and ensure these sites remain available for future generations to learn from and enjoy.
Together, we can help keep history alive.
Community Partner: The historic Hotel St. Nicholas in Cripple Creek—
New Headstone for Roy Bourquin’s Resting Place:
Formerly the St. Nicholas Hospital
founded by the Sisters of Mercy—
is raising funds to replace the
existing wooden grave marker for
Roy Bourquin, buried at Mt. Pisgah
Cemetery. Born in 1889 and
passing in 1958, Roy—often known
as “Army” Bourquin—was severely
injured at a young age, yet his life
ultimately became one of
redemption. He
lived and worked at the St. Nicholas
Hospital for more than 20 years
until his death, and his story is
closely intertwined with the history of the hospital and the Cripple Creek community. Our goal is to install a period-appropriate headstone bearing his name, dates, and a brief account of his life; any additional funds raised will support Mt. Pisgah Cemetery.

Fire Hose Co. No. 3 Fire Museum
The Hose Co. No. 3 Fire Museum preserves Pueblo’s early firefighting history and honors the men and women who protected the community long before modern equipment existed.
As part of our ongoing collaboration, the museum is seeking a 19th-century leather fire bucket to help complete an interpretive display representing early fire response and community preparedness. These buckets were essential tools in the era before pressurized fire engines, and authentic examples are now increasingly rare.
Original fire buckets typically range from $800–$900, depending on condition and provenance.
How You Can Help
-
Donate an authentic 19th-century fire bucket, or
-
Contribute funds toward the acquisition of one for the museum’s collection
All support directly benefits the Fire Museum and helps preserve a tangible piece of Pueblo’s working history.
Why It Matters
Fire buckets are more than artifacts — they represent:
-
community cooperation
-
early emergency response
-
everyday citizens stepping forward to protect one another
Adding this piece would allow the museum to better tell the story of 19th-century firefighting and the people behind it.
If you’re interested in helping, please reach out through the Fire Museum or via In the Shadows Paranormal, and we’ll gladly help coordinate.
Thank you for supporting Pueblo’s heritage and the stories that keep it alive.
For more information, contact the museum, or if you wish to make a donation, send to:

Pueblo, Colorado 81003

Why the Pueblo Heritage Museum Matters to Us
The Pueblo Heritage Museum has been far more than a venue for In the Shadows Paranormal—it has been a valued partner in demonstrating that history and curiosity can work hand in hand.
From the beginning, the museum recognized that respectful paranormal investigations could inspire people to ask questions, learn about Pueblo's past, and develop a deeper appreciation for the people and events that shaped our community.
Every event held at the museum has been an opportunity to introduce visitors to local history in a unique and engaging way. Many guests arrive curious about the unexplained and leave with a greater appreciation for Pueblo's rich heritage.
We are grateful for the museum's willingness to explore new ways of connecting people with history, and we are proud to support its mission of preserving our community's stories for future generations.
If you have enjoyed your experiences with In the Shadows Paranormal, we encourage you to consider supporting the Pueblo Heritage Museum through a donation, membership, or simply by visiting and sharing its remarkable exhibits with others.
Together, we can help ensure that Pueblo's history continues to educate, inspire, and be discovered by generations to come.
