History Colorado’s quarterly magazine brings the drama and variety of Colorado’s past to your door through richly illustrated stories that link history to art, architecture, sports, music, technology, archaeology, and folklore. Our authors are historians, professional writers, and students as well as everyday readers who’ve landed on a story to tell—whether from their family’s own past or simply a passion they’ve pursued.

Read the New Issue

The Colorado Magazine - Winter 2020/2021

In this issue: A century from now, how will 2020 have gone down in history? Twenty writers share their answer to that question. Some envision a 2120 in which our culture persists in new forms. Others see a darker future, while still others find lessons that our descendants will have used to make a better world.

Meet an eleven-year-old girl from Creede who took up knitting to provide wool socks to soldiers in muddy trenches overseas (and who went on to become a noted children's author). Read about the women of Colorado's southern borderlands, Pueblo's Dr. Richard Corwin, who embraced the theory of eugenics, and much more.
