From there, we'll walk a few steps to the Colorado Women's History Center. In this museum, housed in a 19th century mansion, we'll discover the story of the brave women who were part of the Great Western Expansion, facing countless challenges. A different perspective on the history of this region usually associated only with men, gold mines and gunfights.
