The Colorado Historical Society's permanent exhibits include "The Colorado Chronicle," an 1800-to-1949 time line that uses biographical plaques and a remarkable collection of photographs, news clippings, and paraphernalia to illustrate Colorado's past. Dozens of dioramas portray episodes in state history, including an intricate re-creation of 19th-century Denver. There's also a life-size display on early transportation and industry.
Periodically changing exhibits fill two of the museum's three galleries. For 2003, "High Stakes Preservation," an exhibit about historic preservation in Colorado, is scheduled; call for current information. The museum offers a series of lectures and statewide historical and archaeological tours. Its gift shop is also worth a visit. Allow 1 hour.
