Originally, this century-old home was the summer residence of a New York merchant. Today, it houses the Boulder Historical Society's extensive collection of photographs and historical documents, as well as permanent and changing exhibits that include a pre-electric Victorian kitchen, 19th century pharmacy, agricultural, mining and ranching tools, and an antique safety bike designed to keep a lady's skirt and bloomers out of the spokes. Lectures, classes, and special events are scheduled throughout the year. Wanna get out and about? Take the Boulder Creek Path History Tour and be sure to bring your bike or pets. If the little ones are in tow, bring them to the Discovery Room for hands-on history fun.
Currently open by appointment only.
Look for their new building and location coming in 2017!
