The Broomfield Veterans Museum honors local veterans from all branches of service, spanning United States conflicts and peacekeeping efforts from the Civil War to the present. It not only shares the stories of Colorado veterans but also serves as a hub for veterans to connect, students to learn about our nation’s history, groups to explore rotating exhibits, and families to honor their loved ones who served.
The museum features nine exhibit rooms, a library with over 3,000 history and military books, hundreds of archived videos of veteran interviews, and a multimedia room that seats over 40. It is free and open to the public, offering both docent-guided and self-guided tours. Twice a month, the museum hosts “Coffee and Conversation,” where you can hear fascinating stories from local veterans and historians.
In addition to its exhibits, the museum participates in local civic events and educational outreach, engaging with everyone from schoolchildren to seniors. Founded in 2002 by six late Broomfield-area World War II veterans, the museum’s legacy is now carried forward by dedicated volunteers, many of whom are veterans themselves. Everyone is welcome to visit, explore the displays, and listen to the stories.
The museum is located at 12 Garden Center, Broomfield, on the north side of Midway, two blocks east of 287. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tours can be arranged by appointment on other days or times. For more information, call (303) 460-6801.
