The Museum of Boulder, formerly the Boulder History Museum, is a private, nonprofit, local history museum located in Boulder, Colorado and operated by the Boulder Historical Society.[1] From 1985 to 2018, the Museum operated out of the historic Harbeck-Bergheim house[2] on University Hill near the University of Colorado Boulder campus.[3] In April 2013, it purchased the Masonic Lodge building[4] at Broadway and Pine for $2.45 million.[5] Renovations began in 2017 and the new Museum opened on May 19, 2018.[1][3]
In 2015 the Boettcher Foundation granted the museum $75,000 to renovate the former Masonic Lodge building. In addition, the museum received a $500,000 challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to help aid in renovations. Voters approved, in 2014, $4 million as part of the Community, Culture and Safety Tax.[6] In October 2017, Stephen Tebo donated $1.5 million to the Museum of Boulder, allowing him the opportunity to name the new museum building.[7]
The Museum of Boulder works in conjunction with the Boulder Carnegie Library in order to preserve over 900,000 historic photographs and documents.[2] The museum also has a collection of over 45,000 historical artifacts.[8]
