Credits Greeley History began in July 2002 and has grown a lot since that time. I do a lot of research to create this website. Even after living in Greeley since 1976, there was a lot I didn't know. Each year I learn something new about Greeley. I read a lot of books, read newspaper stories, talk with the museum experts, take classes and visit lots of places. It is a fun learning experience. History is always facinating. I hope that the site becomes a useful resource for teachers and students. It is a continuing work in progress. These credits show why you can trust the information that you learn here. |

Thanks, Tiffany, for getting me started! |
