Golden History Center
Welcome to the Golden History Center
The Golden History Center is new and old at the same time. As far back as 1938, citizens began collecting, exhibiting and preserving Golden artifacts. Jefferson County Commissioners with the aid of the Works Progress Administration were instrumental in creating this collection as the basis of a museum that has had several homes over the years but has been at 923 10th Street since 1996. Most recently, this building was known as the Golden Pioneer Museum.
Now known as the Golden History Center, the museum will be a starting place for exploring Golden’s unique history through exhibits, lectures, programs and events.
As is true with the best museums, the Golden History Center will continue to evolve and be a work in progress. The Golden History Center will continue many of the same activities the museum has always done, such as collect Golden stories and all variety of Golden-related artifacts that tell Golden’s unique history. We’ll also care for the collections under our stewardship.
As we build the Golden History Center we’ll continue to draw on the work of those who have come before us and those who continue to share their passion and perspective for local history. We couldn’t do it without you.
We are thankful for all of the community support to date, and we promise that the new Golden History Center will continue to add value to the Golden community. Come grow with us!
