History Attractions in Boulder
Located on the top floor of Old Main, which once housed the entire college, the CU Heritage Center features exhibits exploring the history of Boulder and the University. Residing in the historic Victorian Harbeck-Bergheim manor, the Boulder History Museu m displays an eclectic collection of artifacts recounting the wild and illustrious past of Boulder County.
Will Arnett, an ostentatious gold prospector from the east, built the Arnett-Fullen House as a shining example of Gothic architecture in 1877. At the time, the posh home cost more than three times as much as the average home did in Boulder. During the early 1990s Historic Boulder purchased the estate, and it is now open to the public year round, with tours offered during the summer.
The Leanin' Tree Museum of Western Art is one of the largest collections of Western art in the nation and features 93 artists and an array of paintings and bronze sculptures. The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is a multidisciplinary museum that was created in 1972 to exhibit the work of contemporary artists. Located in a historic two-story warehouse, it has since evolved into an exciting venue where one can expect to see almost anything art-related.
Tour the city of Boulder with Banjo Billy's Bus Tour as you relax in a couch, recliner, or sit on a saddle inside of this bus that looks like a hillbilly shack. Obviously, this is no ordinary tour, but what makes it even more unusual is that you will learn about Boulder's history through ghost tales and crime stories.
