Golden History Museums was recognized this morning with an award from The Jefferson County Good News Coalition. GHM republished the very popular “A Woman’s Life in Golden” book in 2010, and has been continually working to preserve local history and make it accessible to the public.
Several hundred people gathered at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds for the 21st annual awards presentation. Among the other honorees were the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society, Colorado Railroad Museum, and the Jefferson County Historical Commission.

“A Woman’s Life in Golden” chronicles the growth of Golden through the first-hand accounts of 27 women, and is for sale at the Golden History Center.
Congratulations, GHM! Some well-deserved recognition for one of your many contributions toward interpreting local history.
