Private Spaces: Queer History of Capitol Hill

Loading Events

Join Historic Denver and The Center on Colfax in celebrating the LGBTQ+ History of Capitol Hill. This tour covers the late 19th century through Denver's "Stonewall Moment" in 1973 when the Gay Coalition of Denver (GCD) helped stop police harassment and bring about LGBTQ+ liberation in Denver.

Learn how Capitol Hill became an LGBTQ+ neighborhood, explore the Denver Mattachine Society - the first Denver collective against police harassment - and uncover hidden spaces for LGBTQ+ people in Capitol Hill. The essential question asks: Where are our memorials?

Cost: $25 for public; $20 for Historic Denver Members
