History Colorado Exhibit Shares Stories of Joy, Resilience at Historic Black-Owned Mountain Resort

History Colorado has redesigned its exhibit about Lincoln Hills, a historic African American resort established in 1922 in Colorado's foothills that served as the largest such destination west of the Mississippi River. The updated display removes a prominent KKK exhibit that previously greeted visitors at the entrance and instead focuses on celebrating Black joy and community experiences at the resort. The new presentation incorporates personal stories, photographs, and oral histories gathered from community listening sessions held at Shorter AME Church with people who visited Lincoln Hills.
