The Aurora History Museum will honor three entities for their recent contributions to Aurora's quality of life and its heritage at an award ceremony from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the museum. The third-annual History Makers Awards is free and open to the public.

Those who will be honored are:
• Aurora Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Aurora 2005-06 class members, who volunteered their time several months ago to renovate the horse barn at the DeLaney Farm historic site.
• Weitz Construction, who donated their services to rescue an historic wooden trolley trailer discovered earlier this year inside a 1950s-era house in Aurora.
• William Perrott, who donated the recovered Trolley No. 610 to the Aurora History Museum and whose late father had owned the trolley trailer and constructed his house around it.

A chocolate fountain reception with harp concert by Star Edwards performing classical and Christmas music will follow the awards presentation.

Previous recipients of the History Maker Award are Olin and Mary Bell, founders of the now-defunct Aurora Advocate, one of Aurora's first newspapers; William Armstrong and family, founders of KEZW-AM 1430; Ellen Steele, whose role as chair for the Aurora Historical Commission led to the formation of the Aurora History Museum; the Aurora Historical Society; and Bill Akerley and Annabelle Dunning, two Aurora Historical Commission members.

For more information, call the Aurora History Museum at 303-739-6666 or visit www.auroramuseum.org.

The Aurora History Museum is a service of the City of Aurora's Cultural Services Division. The museum at 15051 E. Alameda Parkway is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the museum's permanent and rotating exhibits is free.
