Center for Colorado Women's History

The Center for Colorado Women’s History is a history museum that focuses on the bold stories, memories, and experiences of women of Colorado. Located in the heart of Denver, The Center offers bold exhibits, personalized tours, and special events year-round. Take a stroll through our museum on a 45-minute guided tour, or stop by for a quick visit to our gift shop and gardens. The Center is located within an Italianate style historic home built in 1883, and restored to the 1912-1924 period. Guests who choose to tour the museum will find themselves surrounded by domestic objects and art of a bygone era. See keepsakes and mementos from the past, while hearing remarkable stories of Colorado’s women pioneers. Learners of all ages are welcome to participate. Take your students back in time to 1918 Denver when World War I, the Spanish Flu, and Women’s Suffrage dominated the newspaper headlines. In the 1918 field trip, students explore these themes and everyday life in 1918 Denver with our historically preserved house museum. Students navigate historic spaces with inquiry-based exploration, investigate related primary sources, see demonstrations of everyday hands-on artifacts and learn about the biographies of the historic residents. While this program is designed for students in grades 2nd through 5th, 1918 can be tailored for students of all ages.
