History Colorado CenterDocumenting the colourful history of Colorado and the stories of
those who lived here, the History Colorado Center brings to life
the history of cowboys and gunfighters, Native Americans, miners
and gold panners, explorers, buffalo hunters, wagon trains and
railroads. The museum is hugely innovative, blending technology
with fascinating artefacts: explore an enormous map of the state
with a storytelling time machine, grab a headlamp and enter a
hard-rock mine, traverse the plains in a Model T, then soar off the
world's first ski jump. Exhibits include portrayals of life in 19th
century Denver, Buffalo Soldiers and the Mesa Verde cliff. Address: 1200 Broadway Postal Code: 80203 Website: www.historycolorado.org Telephone: (303) 447 8679 Opening Time: Open 10am-5pm. (Opening April 25th,
