$50 for 50 Campaign

2026 marks 50 years of the Lafayette History Museum. Will you donate $50 in honor of 50 years of preserving and sharing local history? Your support empowers the museum to continue protecting the stories that define our community.

We have only reached this milestone because of the support of our community, so we invite you to be a part of our next 50 years. Every dollar goes toward the exhibits, artifacts, and moments of discovery that showcase how unique our city is.

Though the museum receives funding from the City of Lafayette, it is not a City museum and relies on donations from individuals to continue its mission. Donate to help preserve local history and support the museum so we can continue sharing history with people for another 50 years and beyond!

Located in Old Town Lafayette, Colorado, Lafayette History Museum showcases the dynamic history of the area, from its roots in mining and farming to the century-old Lincoln Highway effort to Lafayette’s recent growth into a vibrant city with its own unique identity.

Through exhibits, educational programming, walking tours, field trips for students, research material, and more, the museum preserves and shares the fascinating stories of Lafayette’s evolution.
