Hartman Love Stories
Keeping the “Heart” in Hartman
In 2025, we started our “Keeping the ‘Heart’ in Hartman” campaign to encourage our community to celebrate the love stories that brought us the historic Hartman Castle.
Our hope for that campaign was that everyone subscribed to recieve our Newsletter would respond with at least a small amount. The goal was similar to that of the Colorado Cliff Dwellers Association, who mobilized the Colorado State Federation of Women’s Club members to donate 25¢ (equivalent to $10 today) toward their goal of designating Mesa Verde a National Park.
Thank you to each of the donors listed on this page for joining the movement and helping ensure the important stories live on through our collective preservation efforts! It’s not too late to get involved with your own small donation of $10 or more today!
Join the movement today to help SAVE Gunnison’s Hartman Castle!
