Auraria as We Knew It: A Walking Tour
Saturday, November 16 at 10am
2 hours
$15 per person
In 1965, Denver’s Auraria neighborhood received a notice outlining the scope of their displacement—the neighborhood was chosen for one of Denver’s largest Urban Renewal projects. The tight-knit Chicano community occupied space that held the future for Denver’s higher education. 900 individuals were displaced from the area to build the Auraria Higher Education Center, which was made up of CU Denver, Metropolitan State College (now University) of Denver, and the Community College of Denver. This tour explores the history of Auraria from the perspective of its displaced residents. It begins on Tivoli Brewery, a renewed historic building, examining Auraria’s industrial past, and ends on a pleasant block of brightly colored Victorian-era homes on the Auraria campus now officially designated as a Historic District. Requires two miles of non-strenuous walking.
