Our Mission Statement:

To promote, advocate, and advise to ensure the continued viability of the Aurora History Museum of Aurora, Colorado.

The Aurora History Museum opened its doors in 1979 in a historic building with two very small galleries and an office. In 1990 the Museum moved to its present location, re-opened in 1991 and became a part of the City of Aurora, Cultural Services Division. The increased space allowed the Museum to expand the exhibits with two larger galleries and a community room. A small classroom gave the Museum staff the opportunity to provide classes, lectures, and workshops to people of all ages. School and group tours are now scheduled and the reference library has more than doubled its size. The Museum collects and exhibits artifacts and documents pertaining to Aurora’s and Colorado’s history. The public is invited to use the Museum’s reference library and history archives.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Many of the Museums activities rely on assistance from volunteers. If you have an interest in volunteering some time, it would be much appreciated. Please click here to get more information about volunteer positions needed.

Help is available for large or heavy items, and for persons who would have difficulty walking from the parking lot to the Museum.
