Center for Colorado Women's History
Find out how we are keeping our visitors, volunteers, and staff safe on our Safe and Welcome page. Thank you!
The Center for Colorado Women’s History focuses on scholarship, research, lectures, tours and exhibits that expand the understanding and collective memory of the history of women in Colorado. Most importantly, the Center is connecting local stories to the broader stories of women’s history worldwide.
The historic house has been the home to inspiring women since 1883. It has been beautifully restored to the era of 1912-1924 and is furnished with the family's original belongings. Guided house tours weave together the stories of the many women, such as Anne Evans, who lived and worked in the home and the impact of the families on early Denver.
Virtual Field Trips
Take your students back to 1918 Denver when World War I, the Spanish Flu, and women’s suffrage dominated the newspaper headlines. In this virtual field trip students explore these topics and everyday life in 1918-20 Denver within our restored house museum. Students will navigate areas of the house museum with inquiry-based exploration, demonstrations of everyday historic items, and biographies of the historic residents of 1310 Bannock Street. (3rd-4th grades)
