Why Become a Member?

Community spirit saved the Astor House, the buildings from the old Pearce Ranch that make up Clear Creek History Park and the Guy Hill Schoolhouse from demolition. Today we rely upon community support to continue to share the stories of Golden’s early settlers with thousands of tourists, schoolchildren and other visitors each year. Show your community spirit.
