“Almost 75 years ago the Golden History Museums (GHM), then called the Jefferson County Museum, commissioned a set of portraits commemorating notable individuals and their contributions to the Golden community. The paintings included the likes of William Loveland, George West, and William Sarell, among others. Museum artist Leila Reece painted the portraits and carpenter, Lesley Beasley, hand-carved each frame.
Fast forward to today. In celebration of Golden History Museums’ 75th birthday, they are doing it again, but with a twist. Colorado Photographer, Rick Souders, was invited to create a new set of portraits. Picture here is Bill Coors sitting in his favorite chair inside the Coors home.
