Description
The Centennial Farms & Ranches program was started in 1986 by the Colorado Historical Society, the Colorado State Fair, and the State Department of Agriculture to honor families whose farm or ranch had been in the same family for a hundred years or more. Award-winning photojournalist Michael Lewis portrays in sensitive detail the hard work, dedication, and sense of tradition that has become a way of life for the descendants of Colorado's first settlers.
