Thank You to the Town of Cochrane for Supporting CHAPS
At CHAPS (Cochrane Historical & Archival Preservation Society), we believe that history is more than stories from the past — it is the foundation of our community’s identity and future. Today, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Town of Cochrane for their continued support of our work.
As a non-profit organization run entirely by dedicated volunteers, CHAPS relies on strong community partnerships to preserve and share Cochrane’s rich heritage. The Town’s support plays an essential role in helping us:
Preserve and protect historical artifacts
Maintain archival collections and photographs
Host educational presentations and exhibits
Share local stories that connect generations
Keep Cochrane’s history accessible to residents and visitors
Their commitment to community heritage ensures that the stories of ranching families, early businesses, pioneers, community builders, and everyday citizens are not forgotten.
Cochrane has grown tremendously over the decades, but with growth comes responsibility — the responsibility to remember where we came from. The Town of Cochrane recognizes that heritage preservation strengthens civic pride, supports tourism, and builds community connection. We are grateful for their partnership in keeping our local history alive.
To our volunteers, members, donors, and the Town of Cochrane: thank you for believing that history matters.
Together, we are preserving Cochrane’s past for future generations.
