The Buffalo Bill Gravesite and Museum and Pahaska Tepee (the historic lodge that formerly housed the museum) are key attractions within the Denver Mountain Park system, located on Lookout Mountain. No historical figure, both in fact and in perception, has captured the allure, the realities, the ironies, and the mythology of the American West as Buffalo Bill Cody. Denver Parks and Recreation seeks a consultant to help the city-owned and managed Buffalo Bill Museum transition to a more independent cultural institution, with its own Board of Directors. We’re publishing this Request for Qualifications to select a consultant to help the Buffalo Bill Museum and Denver Parks and Recreation with:
-
Recommendation of the best governance model for Buffalo Bill Museum within the City structure.
-
Increased community awareness of and advocacy for Buffalo Bill Museum
-
A preliminary Board of Trustees identified, recruited, and trained.
Submissions will be taken until July 31, 2008. You may download the RFQ
here. For information, call Museum Director, Steve Friesen, at 303.526.0744 or
steve.friesen@denvergov.org.
