May the joy of the season...
The holidays are upon us! And so is some seriously cold weather (finally!) forecast over the next week. Whether you go all out to celebrate the season or just enjoy the pretty lights, we wish everyone a happy and safe (and warm) holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah - we love this time of year!
Please remember that the City of Golden administration offices will be closed on Monday, Dec. 25 in observance of Christmas. The Golden Community Center will close early at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve and will also be closed on Christmas Day.
Keep reading for what's happening in Golden, and, in the words of the big guy in red himself, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!"

GHM temporary closure upcoming for big renovations!
The Golden History Museum, in celebration of its forthcoming 80th anniversary in 2018, is embarking on a full renovation of the museum's public spaces. The initiative called
Discovery Awaits
will transform the museum into a warm, welcoming, and vibrant public space for uncovering and sharing our past. The renovation includes new programming spaces, a research center, a hands-on gallery for families with young children, and dynamic new exhibits that highlight the City's collection of historic objects. With the vision of "always something new to discover," the renovated Golden History Museum brings the behind-the-scenes practices of object discovery and preservation to the front of the house.
Beginning December 31, 2017, the Golden History Museum will close temporarily to the public during construction and installation. Golden History Museum anticipates reopening in early summer of 2018. During this period, GHM will continue to offer public programs at alternate locations around Golden.
Until then, the museum is open six days per week through Dec. 30, 2017, with the exception of Christmas and Christmas Eve, and admission is free from now through closing!
