Want to know more history for the 150th Colorado Day? Look no further than ‘Colorado Experience’

Colorado gained the “Centennial State” nickname for becoming a state in the country’s 100th year of independence from Great Britain. 

Celebrations and events are happening throughout Colorado today and this year, including specialized drone shows across the state meant to salute Colorado in a visual light display. 

Rocky Mountain PBS combed through the last 13 years — and 135 episodes — of Colorado Experience to map out the state’s history to celebrate the sesquicentennial. 

"The Colorado Experience collection is remarkable in the breadth and depth of Centennial State knowledge it offers," said Jason Hanson, the chief creative officer at History Colorado. "Watching every episode would make someone the most knowledgeable Coloradan in just about any room."
