Join us for a tour of the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, which serves as a significant site for the study of African American history and culture in Colorado and the broader American West. The facility houses the Western Legacies Museum, whose permanent and rotating exhibitions examine Black settlement, community formation, and cultural life, with particular attention to Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood.
In addition to its museum spaces, the library maintains extensive archival collections, including manuscripts, photographs, and oral histories that support scholarly research on African American experiences in the region. Together, these resources offer critical insight into the social, political, and cultural contributions of African Americans in the Rocky Mountain West.
Please note that transportation will not be provided between the Colorado Convention Center and the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library. The Library, located at 2401 Blake St, is only 1 mile from the Colorado Convention Center. The price of this tour includes a ride share voucher.
