The Aurora History Museum may not be on your radar, but it’s a gem. Filled with artifacts and documents pertaining to the history of Aurora and Colorado, the Museum is a treasure trove of fun things to explore with both permanent exhibits (including a 1913 trolley) and temporary ones. Even better, admission is just $5 for adults and $1 for children.
Growing Home is a permanent exhibit about Aurora’s history featuring Trolley Trailer No. 610, a fully-restored 1913 historic trolley trailer. The exhibit highlights people, places, and events from Aurora’s history.
It features over 100 historic photographs and objects, and the fully restored 1913 historic Trolley Trailer No. 610. You can even go inside the trolley and experience 100 years of history first-hand.
The museum is open Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed Sunday, Mondays, Fridays and Federal holidays.
