Niwot and the Native American Experience

Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Native community events the Niwot Cultural Arts Association (NCAA) sponsored in March.

Along with the guidance of Tom Myer, Niwot’s first Native Art Market opened with great success. The following day, Yates and Myer welcomed Fred Mosqueda (Southern Arapaho) and Chester Whiteman (Southern Cheyenne) to share their perspectives during a community event titled “Building Arapaho, Cheyenne and Niwot Relationships.”

Niwot’s Neal Anderson
Clean-up & Recycling Day
May 17, 2025
Niwot High School parking lot

 

 

Another successful event!  Renamed in memory of Neal Anderson a long time NCA board member, President, and organizer of the clean-up day in years past.  With over 160 visits we once again achieved our goal of redirecting as much refuse away from the landfill and to recycling.  We collected for recycling tires, paint, motor oil, batteries, electronics, styrofoam, mattresses, box springs, bicycles, and scrap metal.  Yard waste and slash was collected for offsite chipping to become mulch.  The amount of garbage sent to the landfill was our smallest amount in years.

Thanks to all the volunteers that help make this happen, and to the Niwot community for preparing for and making the best use of the event.

Slepicka Tractor Show
Saturday June 14, 2025
10am to 3pm
Slepicka home on North 79th

 

Why – you ask?

Preserving these items provides a great teaching opportunity. Farmers who used or use this equipment love to come in and share stories of their upbringing. Parents can show their children equipment that is no longer made and explain what it was used for. All the horse drawn equipment on display around the yard is from the local homesteads around the Niwot area.

Niwot was primarily made up of farms, farming was the way of life, we believe that preserving and honoring this way of life is important. We appreciate that you took the time today to honor Niwot’s heritage.

Today, we have 21 full size tractors, 12 Gibson tractors, 20 hit and miss engines, 14 small engines, various horse drawn equipment. New this year several tractors listed below and a rock crusher. The tractors are on display throughout the spring/summer in our front yard. At the beginning of September, they are moved out back and housed in our tractor sheds.

Boulder Colorado natives – Jerry & Marsha bought this property in 1989 (a vacant lot). They built the custom log home you see today. Boulder County required the lot be mowed – this resulted in the first tractor purchase – a 1946 John Deere B. Our second addition was a 1936 F-20 that Jerry bought during the auction of his Grandparents homestead in Ashland, NE. Marsha’s Dad added the 1927 Fordson F, a tractor he had on his homestead of Nauvoo, IL. More tractors were added over the years.
