About the Key to the State of Colorado:
The Key to the State of Colorado was created by Hyde Park Jewelers and presented to Governor Richard D Lamm on September 6th, 1984, after discovery that there was not an official state key. For the last 25 years, the Key to the State of Colorado has been primarily in secure storage and not available for public viewing. Governor Richard D Lamm delegated the responsibility for the Key’s safe keeping, preservation and exhibition to The Colorado Historical Society. The Key will now have a new home in the State Capitol Rotunda presented alongside memorial busts of some of Colorado’s past Governors. Read More
