2010 Calendar of Events and Exhibits

Take a virtual tour of Centennial. Start by clicking on Selma's Store.



In 1975, the City of Greeley reserved ten acres adjacent to Island Grove park for an 'outdoor museum' to interpret the settlement history of Greeley and the rest of Weld County from 1860 to 1920. Named Centennial Village Museum in honor of the nation's bicentennial and the state's centennial, the site was opened on July 4, 1976. It is one of the four museum facilities operated by the City of Greeley Museums.

Centennial Village is the site of many festivals and special events, summer classes for children, and tours. The church and grounds may also be rented for weddings, receptions , family reunions, birthday parties and other events. It was NOT the location for the filming of the TV mini-series "Centennial."

A bequest from the estate of Robert Hanna and a grant from the United State Bicentennial Commission permitted the initial development of the site. In addition, hundreds of volunteers and donors have generously contributed money, time, special skills, buildings, and artifacts to enhance and preserve this museum, where visitors can see the past come alive.
