Description
The CU Heritage Center is located in the most historic building on campus, Old Main, which dates back to 1876. Old Main once housed the entire University of Colorado campus, including the president and his family, the janitor, a library, and all the classrooms. Obviously, the University has expanded throughout the years, but Old Main stands today as a reminder of the history of CU and is now home to the CU Heritage Center, whose mission is to preserve the rich history of this campus. Exhibits here include: CU in Space, Early History, Distinguished Alumni Gallery, University Life Gallery, Presidents Room, Hauder Gallery, and an Athletics Gallery.
