Check out the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls, and Toys to explore an impressive collection of unique and classic toys. The exhibits showcase a wide range of antique dolls, miniature houses, trains, planes, cars, giant teddy bears, foreign toys, and much more, giving visitors an insight into the cultural significance of toys and their evolution over the years. The Museum staff uses the collection of over 20,000 objects to stage four significant exhibit changes each year, ranging from vintage Star Wars toys to artisan dollhouses and from exquisite antique dolls to well-loved toy soldiers. The objects collected from generations of Coloradans serve as an excellent stepping stone into art and history, and many items, like the Japanese Friendship Doll Miss Yokohama, make history more accessible and open the door to a new experience.
Visiting Four Mile Historic Park is a great way to experience the pioneer spirit of Denver's early settlers and see the oldest building in the city, the Four Mile House. This historic structure was built in 1859 and used to be a stage shop, inn, and tavern for travelers. In addition to its rich history, the Park offers various programs allowing Denver residents and visitors to learn more about the Mile High City's heritage. At Four Mile Historic Park, you can step back in time and experience Denver's Western heritage through historically accurate replicas and a working farm with horses, goats, chickens, and pigs. The Park's grounds are also home to the Four Mile House Museum, the oldest standing structure in Denver. Today, the Park is open to the public and offers a range of education programs, tours of the historic Four Mile House, and signature events, making it an excellent destination for all visitors.
