Have you ever thought about why it’s called the History Colorado Center and not a museum? That’s because it’s more than just a museum.

Historic preservation is more than simply preserving buildings and sites.  It generates jobs and economic growth while simultaneously allowing future generations to know the places that we have come from to better understand how we got to where we are today. History Colorado’s Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation assists in documenting and preserving  properties that are vital to our state and nation’s heritage. Part of this process is working with the National Park Service to list buildings in the National  Register of Historic Places.
