In March 2020, the Greeley History Museum closed in response to COVID-19. Since then, staff worked to prepare for reopening the museum for the community. City officials announce the Greeley History Museum will reopen April 1.
City officials developed an operations action plan to provide safe access to the Greeley History Museum for all visitors. The plan takes into account the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment orders and guidance and the City of Greeley’s color-coded response strategy. Visit the City of Greeley’s website for more information about how the organization is handling COVID-19.
