About Us

The Aurora History Museum constantly brings in unique visits whether it’s one focusing on pop sci-fi culture or a show focusing on Harleys. It’s the perfect place-and the perfect price-to view a variety of interesting traveling exhibits, bring friends and take in Colorado and Aurora’s history.

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.
