Founded in 1879, History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society brings the unique character of Colorado’s past to more than a million people each year through historical museums and highway markers, exhibitions, manuscript and photograph collections, popular and scholarly publications, historical and archaeological preservation services, and educational programs for children and adults. In short, the Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of Colorado for present and future generations. History Colorado is unique in that is is both a nonprofit agency with its own membership and a state institution located within Colorado’s Department of Higher Education.

The Colorado History Museum is now closed in preparation for the move to the new History Colorado Center being built at 12th and Broadway! During this time, please visit one of the other History Colorado museums. Click here for a complete list of locations.

The business offices of History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society, and the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation have relocated during the move. These offices are now located at 1560 Broadway, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80202.
