    Many thanks to Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman for supporting National Heritage Areas - including Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area. She was also a co-sponsor of The National Heritage Area Act.

    We appreciate your continued efforts to celebrate and preserve American history!

    A moving poem about the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area, written by Robert Ward:

    "The Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area"

    From Rocky's Spine, a river's berth,
    A rushing life across the earth.
    The Poudre flows, a mountain song,
    Where stories old and new belong.

    It starts with snow, a winter's grace,
    Then carves its way with ancient pace,
    Through canyons deep and wild terrain,
    To reach the wide and thirsty plain.

    A whisper echoes, French and old,
    Of fur-clad men and winter’s cold.
    Who cached their powder, storm-besieged,
    A desperate act, a memory pledged.

    The Arapaho and Cheyenne knew
    This flowing heart, this lifeblood new.
    Their homelands stretched along the stream,
    Sustained by water, a living dream.

    Representative Marcy Kaptur has long been a champion of National Heritage Areas, including the one in her backyard - Ohio & Erie Canalway. She has also sponsored legislation to create a new NHA for Ohio's Maumee Valley and was a co-sponsor of the National Heritage Area Act.

    Thank you for your leadership!
