Colorado Historical Society

Colorado has a unique and vibrant history. The Colorado Historical Society is a group dedicated to preserving and telling the history of this great state.

CHS operates several museums and historical sites and provides the public with a steady stream of educational events. The Society's contribution to scholarly work includes the publications Colorado Heritage and Colorado History Now.

The Colorado Historical Society was established in 1879. Even early on people realized that Colorado was something special. The site includes a pdf page that lists books published by the society.

Casual web surfers will enjoy the kid's page which has several biographies and games.

CHS is an interesting organization in that it exists both as a state institution in the Department of Higher Education and as a private membership driven nonprofit organization. If you have an interest in history, this would be a great organization to join and support.
