‘A New Beginning’ is dedicated to all the teachers who serve in Colorado’s classrooms across the state.
“A New Beginning” This sculpture of a Victorian woman in the 1890’s is outside of the museum and is by Veryl Goodnight, a native of Colorado. In 1890, Wyoming was the first state to allow women the right to vote, and Colorado followed shortly after in 1893. The empowerment that women felt in the 1890’s brought rise to the title, “A New Beginning”. A plague at the base of the sculpture indicates read, “Dedicated to the Teachers of Colorado”.

This sculpture, located outside the History Colorado Center, was donated by James J. Volker, who had served on History Colorado’s board, dedicated Goodnight’s “A New Beginning” to Colorado educators. In 2006, Volker also donated T.D. Kelsey’s “On the Wind,” a 10-by-13 foot, 3,000-pound bronze North American bison first featured at the former Colorado History Museum and relocated to the History Colorado Center’s Broadway entrance. “The History Colorado Center will bring history to life for thousands of schoolchildren each year,” said Volker. “With them are the teachers who dedicate their lives to helping their students become civically engaged adults. Veryl’s ‘A New Beginning’ is dedicated to all the teachers who serve in Colorado’s classrooms across the state.” See related education story about the announced retirement of Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Dr. Siegfried on pages 8-9.
