Golda Meir House Museum
The duplex where a future Israeli prime minister finished high school
Golda Meir moved into a brick duplex on Julian Street in 1913, at fifteen, to live with her sister and finish school in Denver. The building was nearly demolished, survived fire, a tornado and repeated vandalism, was moved three times, and was finally set down on the Auraria campus in 1988. Denver made it a landmark in 1995. It now holds a small museum along with the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership, an MSU Denver program, which means it is a working office as much as an exhibit.
Why go. A serious piece of twentieth-century history sitting quietly between lecture halls.
It doubles as a conference center, so call ahead - the exhibit rooms are not always open to walk-ins.
