Greeley Museums

HISTORY HOUR PRESENTATION CHANGE: Join us at the Greeley History Museum Thursday, June 25, from noon-1 p.m., for this month's History Hour Presentation: Your History, Your Culture, Your Greeley Museums.

Dr. Chris Bowles, museums manager, will explore nearly 100 years of the Greeley Museums. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Centennial Village Museum, one of the largest of its type in Colorado and now on the city's local landmark register. Now middle aged, and the museums overall in their 90's, Chris presents the history of the institution and asks the audience to consider: "what makes us special?" and "where should we go from here?"

Presentation is free.
