Golden’s Heritage Register of Buildings & Monuments

Without a bylaw in effect to protect the homes of historic significance in Golden it is really easy for people to tear down old homes and make way for new ones. In 2002 the Golden Museum published a list of buildings that they considered to have historic significance to the people of the area. If you find this list interesting you could print it off and head out in your can to view the buildings with a little more understanding of what you are looking at. They are in no particular order but include the name that appears on the Heritage Inventory at the Museum, the date it was built if it is known and who it was built for.
