History Colorado Center
An Experience to Remember
Step into the story and discover Colorado at the History Colorado Center, where you'll find interactive exhibitions, programs for kids and adults, special events and cultural performances, and a research center that’s a portal to our vast collections of books, manuscripts, photography, documents, maps, and other artifacts. An award-winning tourist destination and a hub for learning and entertainment, it’s also a place to shop and dine. Buy regional foods and crafts, books on Colorado and Western history, and Colorado souvenirs at the Gift Shop, and enjoy a meal with a local emphasis at Café Rendezvous.
Denver CityPASS includes:
Highlights
01.
Explore 100 powerful artifacts that illustrate how Colorado became Colorado in Zoom In: The Centennial State in 100 Objects. Culled from the vast collections of History Colorado, every object on view had a role in shaping our state--from the age of the Paleoindians to Jack Swigert's Apollo 13 flight suit and beyond.
02.
Hear the story of Colorado’s longest continuous residents, told in their own voices in Written on the Land: Ute Voices, Ute History. Take a journey to iconic Colorado places the Ute people call home. You’ll see traditional arts, gorgeous photography, and contemporary video showing how Ute people have adapted and persevered through the centuries. Witness the tragic loss of Ute homelands and see efforts to keep Ute culture and language alive today.
03.
Explore the shifting geopolitical history of southern Colorado in Borderlands of Southern Colorado, presented in English and Spanish. This area framed by mountains and rivers is naturally conducive to unique and resilient forms of cultural connection. An international border crossed over the people in this region, changing their lives forever, when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo moved a portion of the US–Mexico border from the Arkansas River—which flows through the middle of Colorado—down to the Rio Grande in 1848.
