The Center for Colorado Women’s History is the first state museum focused on the past, present and future achievements of Colorado women. The Center for Colorado Women’s History focuses on scholarship, research, public programs, narrative, lectures, school tours and exhibits that expand the understanding and collective memory of the history of women in Colorado. The Museum is a space for adventurous dialogue and challenging questions that:

• Generate new knowledge and understandings of women’s role in history – within Colorado and beyond
• Reflect the diverse audiences of Colorado
• Share and collect stories that represent the lives and work of all women in Colorado’s past and present
• Amplify stories of the women who work within communities
• Connect local stories to the broader stories of women’s history worldwide.

Accessibility at the Center for Colorado Women's History

At the Center for Colorado Women's History, we want all of our visitors to feel welcome. Here’s how we try to be accessible for everyone.

If you have additional questions you can email us or call 303-620-4933.

Mobility & Entering the Building

The museum does not have dedicated parking, but there is parking available (including several handicap accessible spaces) along 13th Avenue. There is a ramp entrance to the Visitor Center and into the historic house. There is an elevator able to accommodate non-electric wheelchairs to transport guests on tours from the first to the second floor of the museum.

Experiencing our historic house includes dimly-lit rooms and changes in lighting, and uneven flooring. Some of our historic rooms are quite small, and you may have to stand very close to someone else. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own sensory soothing tools.

Wheelchairs

There is a wheelchair available to check out at the front desk for Women's History Tours. It is available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Accessible Restrooms

The museum includes a wheelchair accessible restroom with a grab bar. The doorway to enter this restroom is 26" wide.

Service Animals

Service animals—animals that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability—are allowed throughout the museum. Pets and emotional support animals are not considered service animals and are not allowed.
