2nd and 4th Saturdays – 10 a.m.

The Broomfield Veterans Museum invites you to join us for Coffee and Conversation, where you can enjoy coffee, donuts, networking and a great presentation by a veteran or historian. In an informal setting, our Coffee and Conversation events provide museum visitors with an opportunity to listen to the stories of service and sacrifice, ask questions of our speakers and other veteran, see short videos and discuss the broader context of their experiences. Coffee and Conversation events in 2024 begin at 10 a.m. on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month.
