An Award-Winning Renovation of a Downtown Gem
|
| Located in a beautiful 1929 building that formerly housed the Greeley Tribune newspaper offices, this 34,000 square-foot museum opened in 2005. It is listed on both the Colorado and National Register of Historic Places. Step inside the historic entrance or new glass atrium doors and begin exploring Greeley's rich history. There are mini-exhibits and temporary exhibits (typically changed every six months). Utopia: Adaptation on the Great American Desert is the permanent exhibit of Greeley's history, ranging from fossils and the earliest human inhabitants through the Union Colony's beginnings in 1870 to the contributions of its "water buffaloes," mavericks and mentors.
- Meet the notables - the Meekers, Rattlesnake Kate, Dr. Ella Mead, and P.T. Barnum
- And the anonymous - bison hunters, cowboys, stoop laborers, and POWs
- Browse the changing exhibits
- Discover vast resource materials in the Hazel E. Johnson Research Center
- Shop in the museum store
- Rent the Community Room or lobbies for a meeting or special event
