G. Brown

 

It takes a community to get a museum like this off the ground. We are so thankful for everyone who has shown their support for The Colfax Museum! Lifelong music journalist and historian G. Brown is one such person, shown here wearing one of our retro Sid King T-shirts. 

 

He is still very active today with his Colorado Music Experience website and blog. Thanks, G!

The Colfax Museum would like to recognize all of the creative people that have contributed to our cause. It's so true that Colfax Avenue has inspired countless painters, photographers, musicians, poets, writers, artists and creative types of all kinds

 

Today we want to thank the incredible Karl Christian Krumpholz, a brilliant artist and true Colfax devotee, for his contributions to our museum, including this Schuyler Colfax illustration. Vexatious Rickets indeed!

The PUTT-PUTT mini golf course used to be at East Colfax and Lima Street. They later added bumper cars too!

Marley Liquor

With all the dispensaries in town, I thought Marley Liquor was a little bit comical, and very Colfax! They even have a boot to boot! (photo by Jonny B.)
