The Colorado Historical Foundation keeps history alive by protecting and sustaining historic places and expanding public access to history for generations to come. The Foundation's vision is that Colorado becomes a place where all people feel reflected in its history and can build an equitable future informed by the past.
The Colorado Historical Foundation mobilizes resources to support and inspire Colorado’s people in their preservation of meaningful places, heritage, and history.
In 1965, The Colorado Historical Foundation was established to bolster the state's and other entities' efforts to commemorate, preserve and share the history of Colorado's diverse people and places. The spirit of statewide collaboration and support infuses its core focus today: Protecting historic places, rehabilitating old buildings for contemporary use, and supporting public access to Colorado history.
The deployment of resources entrusted to the Foundation makes it possible for people to access and explore Colorado's diverse history through educational programs, experiences, stories, objects, and historic places. The Foundation partners with private parties, public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and informal coalitions to keep history alive.
