Attractions + Things To Do in Denver #1 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Colorado State Capitol Building Denver CO ~0.07 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Colorado State Capitol Building The Colorado State Capitol Building, located at 200 East Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado, is the home of the Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the Governor of Colorado and Lieutenant Governor of Colorado. The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush. The building is part of Denver's Civic Center area. Serving as the beginning of the Capitol Hill district, the historic building sits slightly higher than the rest of downtown Denver. The main entrance hall is open 180 feet (55 m) to the top of the dome, about the height of an 18-story building. Additionally, the official elevation of Denver is measured outside the west entrance to the building, where the fifteenth step is engraved with the words "One Mile Above Sea Level." From this step, around dusk, a magnificent view of the sun setting behind the Rocky Mountains can be taken-in at 5,280 feet (1,609 m). A second mile high marker was set in the 18th step in 1969 when Colorado State University students resurveyed the elevation. Finally, in 2003, an even more accurate measurement was made with modern means and the 13th step was identified as being one mile (1.6 km) high where a 3rd marker was installed. The interior of the building uses copious amounts of Colorado Rose Onyx, a rare rose marble from a quarry near Beulah, Colorado. The amount used in the building consumed the entire known supply. White Yule Marble from the quarries near Marble, Colorado was also used throughout the capitol for the floors. Many designs have been found in the marble including an image resembling George Washington and another of Molly Brown. Old Supreme Court Chambers Many of the windows are stained glass, depicting people or events related to the history of Colorado. The halls are decorated with portraits of every president of the United States. #2 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Denver CO ~0.14 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is a cathedral serving Roman Catholics in the U.S. city of Mobile, Alabama.

In short, the Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of Colorado for present and future generations. A nonprofit agency with its own membership, the Society is also a state institution located within Colorado's Department of Higher Education. Museums and Historic Sites The Colorado Historical Society operates twelve historic sites and museums at 10 locations around the state, including the Colorado History Museum in Denver. Each has its own regional character and thematic focus-from the days of the fur trade along the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers to early Hispanic life and settlement in southern Colorado, the Ute Indians of the Western Slope, the Clear Creek gold rush, the Leadville silver boom, and the growth of Denver. Our Mission: To Collect, Preserve, and Interpret The Society's collections-protected, conserved, and held in trust for all of Colorado's people-contain more than 125,000 artifacts and eight million historical documents, including books, maps, photographs, diaries, and newspapers. From these historical treasures and tools of knowledge, we prepare exhibitions, publications, and educational programs-and we offer a full range of services for researchers through the Society's Stephen H. Hart Library. Historians, archaeologists, and preservationists of all kinds may also explore the vast database of Colorado's visible past-and link to other preservation resources-through the Office of Archaeology & Historic Preservation. And, whether for business or pleasure, many of the Society's statewide facilities offer excellent, history-rich settings for special events. #4 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Denver Zoo Denver CO ~0.20 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Denver Zoo #5 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Denver Central Library Denver CO ~0.22 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Denver Central Library #6 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Civic Center Park Denver CO ~0.25 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Civic Center Park Civic Center is a neighborhood and park in Denver, Colorado.

In fact, the Museum itself is in the home of Dr. Justina Ford, Colorado's first Black woman doctor! Our Museum is broken into many diverse exhibits such as our homestead exhibit. This exhibit is primarily dedicated to the town of Dearfield, Colorado. Dearfield was a Black pioneer town founded by O.T. Jackson in 1910 just east of Greeley, Colorado. It was a bustling town of approximately 500 residents founded on the principles of Booker T. Washington. It was successful until the 1930s when depression, drought and dust storms forced most of the residents back to the cities. In the early 1940s, the town dwindled to about a dozen full time residents and finally ended shortly thereafter. The town is now a ghost town and the Museum owns many of the city lots. In the Cowboy exhibit, there are many items and photographs from famous and not-so-famous Black cowboys. See saddles, spurs, hats, chaps, boots and other cowboy necessities from many of these cowboys. Learn how each of these daily tools of the Black cowboy were used and valued. Did you know that 1 in 3 cowboys were Black? In the military exhibits, you will see the story of the Buffalo Soldiers. These were the Black military units, both cavalry and infantry, and their stories which were very important to settling of West and beyond. Also, learn about the Tuskegee airmen and their heroics during World War II in their support of our winning war effort. In addition to many photographs and timelines, we have uniforms, saddles, weapons and additional tools of the soldier of the West. When you have finished with the exhibits of the Museum, visit our hall of education and catch an old Western movie starring Herbert Jeffries, a singing Black cowboy from the 1930s. Or perhaps, you would like to learn more about Dearfield, Colorado? We have the answer in a short (30 minute) video which is both entertaining and educational. We also have many other documentaries on the Black West. Finally, come on back upstairs to our bookstore and browse the many titles that we have on hand about the Old West and the many Blacks that helped build it. If we are not too busy, our docents can talk with you at length about any questions you might have, sign you up for a membership, or just listen to anything that might be on your mind. You see we still believe in Western hospitality! #30 of 30 Things To Do in Denver Speer (Neighborhood) Denver CO ~1.49 miles from Denver city center Hotels Close to Speer
