6 History Museums in Boulder That You Shouldn't Miss

UPDATE 3/17/20: The Shelby American Collection museum in Colorado is temporarily closed to the public until further notice due to CDC health recommendations. The Shelby American Collection celebrates the rich heritage of the Cobra, Shelby Mustang and Ford GT 40 cars that changed the face of auto racing in the 1960s. Thanks to the generosity of owners and collectors, we have some of the most important American cars ever made on display at our Boulder museum, along with an extensive collection of race records, period photographs, memorabilia and tributes to the pioneer drivers and visionaries of the era including Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, Dan Gurney, Bob Bondurant, Phil Hill, Phil Remington and other Shelby American Team members. The museum is dedicated to serve as a resource for all enthusiasts, and to memorialize & preserve one of the most important eras in American automotive history for all generations.

Our nonprofit InterNACHI Inspection Museum houses an assortment of well-preserved artifacts and documents dating as far back as the late 1800s. Some of the items currently on display include antique and vintage flashlights, an early kitchen, and the first modern washing machine. Informative, fun and educational, we're sure our museum will interest people of all ages. Open 9am-4pm Mon-Fri
