History of the Louisville Historical Museum <br />Situated between Denver and Boulder, the City of Louisville, Colorado receives national attention for <br />being one of the best places to live in the United States. This small city of about 20,000 was historically a <br />hardscrabble coal mining town of one-tenth its current size with many immigrant families. In fact, <br />mining was the primary occupation for Louisville men for over 70 years. The Louisville Historical <br />Museum tells the story of the Louisville area to tourists, residents, and students. The Museum is <br />geographically very accessible and well -situated, as it is located right on Main Street in historic <br />downtown Louisville within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. <br />The Louisville Historical Museum is made up of three historic wood frame buildings: the Jacoe Store, <br />Tomeo House, and Jordinelli House. The Jacoe Store was listed on the National Register of Historic <br />Places in 1986, and all three buildings were designated as Louisville Landmarks in 2005. (A small historic <br />summer kitchen and an authentic outhouse both moved to the site, round out the list of structures.) The <br />combined square footage of these three buildings is approximately 2,940 square feet (Jacoe Store, 1,320 <br />sq. ft.; Tomeo House, sq. ft., 750; Jordinelli House, sq. ft., 870). <br />Opened in 1986, the Historical Museum has an estimated 17,000 items in its permanent collection. The <br />Museum's permanent collection has a great deal of depth with respect to historic photos, coal mining <br />artifacts and maps, and business items from historic Louisville. The Museum not only has interpretive <br />exhibits for visitors but is also the repository of the City's archival materials for researchers and City <br />staff. <br />The Museum is organized to be part of the Department of Library & Museum Services within the <br />Louisville city administration. The City has employed a staff member to manage it since 1999. Currently, <br />the Museum's operations are handled by a Museum Coordinator (.77 FTE for the Museum) and a <br />Museum Tech (.5 FTE), who report to the Director of Library & Museum Services for the City of <br />Louisville. For several years, the Museum has been fortunate to have the assistance of about forty <br />1 <br />
