Boulder History Museum

The Boulder History Museum, rebranding itself as the Museum of Boulder[1] (operated by the Boulder Historical Society), is a private, nonprofit, local history museum located in Boulder, Colorado, established in 1944 in the historic Harbeck-Bergheim house[2] on University Hill near the University of Colorado Boulder campus. In April 2013, it purchased a second property, the Masonic Lodge building[3] at Broadway and Pine, with the goal of moving its operations to the new building by fall of 2014,[4] more recently expected late 2017/early 2018.[1] The Museum of Boulder Event Center[5] is available to rent from facility manager A Spice of Life Catering + Events.[6]

The Boulder History Museum works in conjunction with the Boulder Carnegie Library in order to preserve over 900,000 historic photographs and documents.[2] The museum also has a collection of over 35,000 historical artifacts.[7]
