2000s CULTURE |
| The Museum of Western Colorado, founded in 1965, opened a new History Museum and main office in May, 2000. The building is the former headquarters of the C.D. Smith Company. A solidly built brick structure dating from 1936, it was remodeled with exhibit galleries and the Loyd Files Research Library. The Sterling T. Smith Tower offers vistas over the city and valley. The Museum also includes Cross Orchards Historic Farm, Dinosaur Journey (Fruita) and the Whitman Education Center. |
