Photographer Mark Miller opened his studio in Fort Collins; Colorado; in 1914. The town he chose to live and work in sits in a river valley in northern Colorado; nestled between the Rocky Mountain foothills and the semiarid high plains; with Denver to the south and Cheyenne; Wyoming; to the north. Established as a Civil War�era army post; the town was a Wild West frontier outpost until it was tamed in the 1870s by the arrival of a land-grant college and the railroad. By the turn of the century; Fort Collins had become a quietly respectable college town with a thriving economy and steadily increasing population. Over almost six decades; as the small town evolved into a city; Miller photographed people; businesses; and landscapes. Fort Collins: The Miller Photographs offers a representative sampling of the over 70;000 Miller images; a collection housed at the Fort Collins Museum�s Local History Archive.
