On February 4, 2019, History Colorado announced that the 2019 Governor's Award for Historic Preservation would be shared by Front Range Research Associates, the Park County Department of Heritage, Tourism and Community Development, Park County Historic Preservation Advisory Commission, Linda Balough (former director of DHTCD), Martorano Consutlants LLC, and Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. for successful completion of a National Register nomination for the Tarryall Rural Historic District. The district includes 28,000 acres and twenty-five historic ranch headquarters along Park County Road 77. The district extends from south of Jefferson on US 285 to near Lake George on US 24.

Work on assessing the historical significance of the corridor began in 1995 with a survey by Alpine Archaeology. After becoming director of DHTCD, Linda Balough championed creation of a district to recognize the importance of this high altitude cattle and hay ranching area. Front Range was engaged to conduct historic resource surveys and prepare the National Register nomination. Marilyn Martorano assisted with vegetation analysis and archaeological resources. The National Park Service listed the district in the National Register in November 2017.
