The Aspen Idea
In the late 1940s, Aspen’s modern day founders, Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke, had a vision to make Aspen a destination for those seeking renewal of their mind, body and spirit. This “Aspen Idea” was the driving force behind the creation of the Aspen Institute and Aspen Music Festival & School, and still fuels the internal energy of our mighty mountain town to this day.
