Imagine covered wagons, a rendezvous of fur trappers, Indian buffalo hunts, mining the Rocky Mountains, and life in early Denver. Discover the diversity of Colorado from its earliest inhabitants to its pioneer families. Explore Colorado's own museum with fascinating collections, detailed dioramas, historic photographs, artifacts, and more.
Special galleries also feature changing exhibitions on life and culture in the American West.
Constructed in 1977, the museum preserves a collection of historic and prehistoric artifacts and documents and is the Colorado Historical Society's headquarters. In addition to exhibits and educational programs, the museum includes the Stephen H. Hart Library, the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and membership services.
