Denver’s 150th year anniversary is Saturday.  This means free admission to museums around the city so take advantage of it this weekend!

From Denver.org:

On November 22, 1858, Gen. William Larimer, a land speculator from eastern Kansas, placed cottonwood sticks on the hill overlooking the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek to stake a claim at the center of a square-mile town plat. Now, 150 years later, Denver is the 21st largest metropolitan area in the United States. The City and County of Denver is celebrating its sesquicentennial with a legacy project, the Denver Daisy; recognition of 150 people making Denver a better place; and a two-week celebration in November called 15 Days, 150 Years.
