Humphrey Memorial Park and Museum

The Humphrey History Park and Museum's goal is to preserve and interpret the mountain heritage of Colorado to a diverse public. Our vision is to present living history experiences that engage, entertain and educate our visitors on the history and challenges our mountain founders faced through the story of the Humphrey family.   

The Museum began in 1995 through a bequest of Hazel Lou Humphrey. The bequest specified that the property would be used "to preserve the history of the Humphrey family and the natural aspects of the grounds to provide an area for the use and pleasure Tractor Rideof the public." The Museum Board struggled for years to obtain these goals and ultimately closed the Museum in September 2009. In early 2011, the remaining two members of the Board conducted a facilitated retreat. The result reorganized the Museum's mission, operating plan, internal structure, board composition, and hired a museum professional as the executive director.
