Connecting individuals to Golden's past through historic collections and interactive experiences.
Who we are
Golden History Museums (Astor House Museum, Clear Creek History Park, Golden History Center) is a division in the City of Golden's Parks and Recreation Department.
Our community includes more than 250 dues-paying members, a full-time, year-round staff of five, and over 100 volunteers. We invite you to join us - as a member, a volunteer, or staff. You can also follow us on Facebook.
We serve more than 30,000 visitors a year at our three sites. We welcome families, tourists, history buffs, summer campers, curious folks and groups of all kinds. In addition to scout groups and senior groups, we share Colorado history with 2,800 school students every year.
