Black American West Museum - Denver, CO

The Black American West Museum & Heritage Center's mission and goals are the interpretation, collection, housing, displaying, exhibiting, and preserving of histrical artifacts, documents and other memorabilia which tell the history and relate the stories of Black men and women who helped settle and develop the great American West. This approach allows visual artistic inculcation of the rich and colorful contributions of Black pioneers in the western United States. We tell it like it was!

Little Known Facts:

Nearly a third of cowboys in the building of the American West were black.
Black families came West in covered wagons; established self-sufficient all-Black towns, filling every job from barber to teacher, state legislator to doctor.
African Americans were some of the West's earliest millionaires, owning much of the West's most valuable real estate and many of its prominent businesses.
One of the first gold discoveries in Idaho Springs, Colorado was made by Henry Parker, a Black mine owner.
Blacks were also military heroes, taking San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War. It is a little known fact that the all-Black 10th Cavalry should really be credited with that victory.

It' true, African American people played a major role in the settling and shaping of the American West. Yet, until now, this story has gone virtually untold. From the early fur trade until today, the museum's exhibits document this history, with a special emphasis on Colorado and early Denver. It is a story not found in history books, but we tell it like it was.
