Denver Union Station is excited to commemorate 149 years of Colorado history with its inaugural Colorado Day Celebration highlighting and honoring our state’s rich history and the vital role Denver Union Station plays as the travel and community hub for our capital city. Aug. 1st is Colorado’s 149th birthday, celebrating the day it gained admission to the Union and became the 38th state.
