Historical Fact

The Gold Hill School is the oldest continually operating school in Colorado. The elementary school first opened its doors in the fall of 1873 as a one-room log schoolhouse that also operated as a church on Sundays. The original school was dismantled in 1890 and was replaced by a larger one-room framed structure that continues to be used as the homeroom for grades 3-5 today.

Lost Stuffies

We have had many wonderful days and nights at the Museum of Boulder but we are ready to go home now!

Please help us find our owner! We may be from the Boulder, Colorado area, yet we could have been traveling through the area. The Museum staff will be sad to see us go, but they know that we are homesick. Please share our photos so that our family member can find us!

One well-loved black and white puppy and a bunny in overalls were left at the Museum of Boulder sometime in the last year.

Please call the Museum at 303-449-3464 x0 if one of these lovies is yours! Also posted on https://www.lostmylovey.com/
