About Greeley History Museum

The Greeley History Museum is one of the four historic sites run by the City of Greeley's museum system. Its featured exhibition examines how the Greeley Tribune covered the nation's 1876 centennial, touching on local life, regional events, and national politics of that era. The museum's lower level houses the Hazel E. Johnson Research Center, which serves researchers and genealogists studying Greeley, Weld County, and northeastern Colorado. Visitors can also learn about volunteering, membership, and group visits through the city's museum office.
