Greeley History Museum
[gallery size="large" ids="7811,7812,7813"]
This museum showcases and preserves Greeley’s history through exhibitions, programs, permanent collections and research. It includes three floors of both permanent and changing galleries. The building, which was built in 1929 for the Greeley Tribune, is included on the National Register of Historic Places and became the home of the museum in 2005. My personal favorite exhibit here is the one on the lower floor dedicated to the history of printing. This is a great stop for a rainy day, or whenever you’re feeling inclined to learn more about our history!
