LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED

Built in 1898 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the Auditorium’s lofty, open architecture is from another era and the incredible acoustics keep the music real. In Colorado’s chillier months, you will find concerts, speakers, and panels in the intimate setting of our 1918 Community House.
