FREE Tours Governor's Mansion on Tuesdays

The Colorado Historical Society is offering FREE tours of the Governor’s Mansion, 400 E. 8th at Logan, every Tuesday through Aug. 16.    The Tuesday tours are led by docents and are held from 1-3PM. No reservations are required for the tours and those wishing to participate are asked to wait in line outside. A group of 12 to 14 is taken through the building approximately every 15 minutes. The visit lasts approximately 45 minutes. Call 303-866-3682 or visit coloradoshome.org for information.
  The red brick, Colonial Revival style mansion was built in 1908 by the family of Walter S. Cheesman and purchased in 1923 by Claude Boettcher. The Boettcher family later donated the house to the city.     The main floor of the building is the subject of the tour, which will include looks at the Grand Hall and the State Dining Room, among other rooms.
