Discover the Colorado History Museum

The Colorado History Museum has been enlightening visitors on the history of the American West for more than 30 years. Colorado entered the Union on August 1, 1876 as the 38th state. Prior to statehood, the territory of Colorado attracted gunslingers, gold seekers, and others eager to stake a claim in the Wild West. Learn about Colorado's colorful past at the History Museum.
