We are Colorado. Together, our generational work centers communities, deepens knowledge, and catalyzes the transformative power of history.

Established in 1879, History Colorado is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and an agency of the State of Colorado under the Department of Higher Education.

We are committed to serving all Coloradans and offer access to our state’s history through enriching experiences at 11 museums and historic sites, with engaging exhibitions and activities. We steward more than 15 million objects, photographs, and archival resources that make up the state’s collection, and we serve tens of thousands of learners of all ages through dynamic programs. We work with school groups and youth through field trips, day camps, and traveling programs across the state of Colorado. We’re home to a free public research center, Colorado’s Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP), and the Colorado State Historical Fund (SHF), the nation’s largest preservation program of its kind.

We hope you will join us in this work—because we’re stronger when we do it together.
