Museum Visit
For All Ages! • Step Into the True Story of the American West
What to Expect
The Black American West Museum & Heritage Center invites you to experience the often-untold stories of the men and women who shaped the history of the American West. Located in the former home of Dr. Justina Ford, Colorado’s first licensed African American female doctor, the museum offers a one-of-a-kind journey through resilience, innovation, and community.
Explore exhibits on Black cowboys, ranchers, miners, soldiers, and entrepreneurs who helped build the West, and learn how their contributions continue to impact our lives today. Interactive displays, photographs, and artifacts bring history to life.
This visit is perfect for families, school groups, history lovers, and anyone curious about Colorado’s diverse heritage. Plan to spend 1–2 hours exploring the galleries, viewing special exhibits, and discovering a powerful story you won’t find in traditional textbooks.
Come curious, leave inspired, and carry forward the legacy of the trailblazers who defined the West.
