Freedom Heavy Haul can help with any sized Heavy Hauling tasks to or from the terrific state of Centennial Colorado or anywhere within the USA.
Colorado has a rich and diverse history. This multiplicity of histories is due to the state's status as a border territory, and the fact that it had multiple territorial periods: Spanish, Mexican, and American. The Centennial State has many historic places and landmarks for visitors to learn about. From the Wild West to hippies; from mining towns to ski resorts; from ghost towns to national parks; Colorado has it all.
Centennial Colorado is a small town 100 miles northwest of Denver, Colorado. It was founded in 1891 and consists of only 1 square mile of land. It has remained mainly unchanged since its founding with the exception of updates to its roads and power lines. This year marks the town's 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated all over the state!
Centennial is a city in Colorado that celebrates its heritage and future with their annual events. This year the Centennial Committee has a vision to celebrate the City's 100-year history of becoming a thriving safety-net for survivors of abuse and neglect with Pride in Our Past, Faith in Our Future.
