About Delta County Historical Society

The Delta County Historical Society is a nonprofit organization in Delta, Colorado, that collects, documents, and exhibits the history of the city and county. Its museum holds more than 20,000 artifacts, and the society also keeps genealogy-related records such as early birth, marriage, death, land, school, and court records. Volunteers run much of the daily work, and the group publishes a blog with local historical articles, including pieces drawn from old Delta County newspapers and profiles of community figures. Visitors interested in family history or early county life can research its holdings.
