Colorado and its diversity is portrayed from the earliest inhabitants to its pioneer families through innovative exhibits, historic photographs, artefacts and news clippings. There are exhibits on life in 19th century Denver , Buffalo Soldiers and the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings, and life and culture in the American West.
