Questions & Answers About the Move

The new museum isn’t open yet, how do I get to the OAHP and SHF offices?

Until the History Colorado Center opens in spring 2012, all visitors should enter through the visitor/staff entrance on Lincoln between 12th and 13th Streets (see map).  Please check in at the security desk on the right-hand side of the entry corridor.  Let the guard on duty know the reason for your visit and he/she will call a staff member to escort you to your destination or give you directions.

Has your phone and e-mail contact information changed with the move?

All staff phone numbers will remain the same.  Email addresses have changed to firstname.lastname@state.co.us.
