About 15 years ago, we embarked on an incredible journey to preserve the history of Commerce City. We recognized that the city was rapidly growing and changing. The area had been settled in 1850 the history would have been lost without locals stepping in and saving it. So, we began to collect the stories of the past and opened the Historical Society Museum.
