The Society was organized in 1976 when Dr. R.B. Fickel, Mayor of Berthoud, invited interested persons to meet for the purpose of forming a local historical society. On February 22, 1977, the Berthoud Historical Society came into existence when it was made a corporation by the State of Colorado.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The founders and members of the first board of directors were Dr. Helen Fickel, Dr. R.B. Fickel, Harold Gustafson, O.D. Mayo, Frances Nielson and Al Schmidt. The Fickels were instrumental in securing the historic A.G. Bimson blacksmith shop at 228 Mountain Ave. to serve as the Little Thompson Valley Pioneer Museum.<\/p>

The operation of the Berthoud Historical Society is financed through membership dues, donations collected from visitors, monetary gifts, and fundraising events. The 12-member board of directors meets monthly. A quarterly newsletter, \u201cThe Berthoud History News,\u201d is published to inform members about upcoming events and activities.<\/p>

The Society operates the Little Thompson Valley Pioneer Museum and the McCarty-Fickel Home house museum and holds meetings and activities for the education and recreation of its members and visitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
