June 11  6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

We at the museum recognise that our normal daytime hours may not make it easy for everyone to visit us, so we want to offer something completely different.

Thursday, June 11th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Come visit the Veterans Museum – Broomfield and see what you’ve been missing!  Exhibits cover Colorado’s military history from 1861 to today.  We will have food and drinks (soft drinks and “other” libations) available provided by local vendors (the places you know & love) – these are folks who support the museum and veteran causes.   

The Museum will be closing for an upgrade to our facility between May 26 and June 1.  We will be replacing the windows all over the building to reduce energy consumption and to provide enhanced UV protection to artifacts and exhibits. The Museum will reopen to the public for normal operations on Tuesday, June 2.

Our next Coffee & Conversation is Saturday, May 23 at 10am. Flint Whitlock, who is an historian and author of many books on the Second World War, will talk about his book “If Chaos Reigns” detailing the airborne and glider operations during D-Day.

The City and County of Broomfield declared May 2026 as Military Appreciation Month. There are a variety of activities planned throughout the month, including ‘Pizza for Patriots’ after the May 9 Coffee & Conversation program in the front yard of the Museum at 12 Garden Center.
