Colona Methodist Church History Collection

This digital collection is a sample of items from the physical collection of the Colona Methodist Church History Collection. Colona is a small town outside Montrose, Colorado. The collection presents three items of church history from 1912 to 1959, all of which have to do with the church's famous 800-pound bell. This collection was digitized by Baylee Suskin whose work has been graciously funded by the Mountain Sky Archives and History Commission.
