In August 1908, Colonel Allen Allensworth and four other settlers established a town founded, financed, and governed by African Americans. Their dream of developing an abundant and thriving community stemmed directly from a strong belief in programs that allowed blacks to help themselves create better lives. By 1910, Allensworth’s success was the focus of many national newspaper articles praising the town and its inhabitants. Today a collection of restored and reconstructed early 20th-century buildings—including the Colonel's house, historic schoolhouse, Baptist church, and library—once again dots this flat farm country.

The park offers a short film, exhibits, tours, and occasional recreational and educational events.

History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society, is a Smithsonian Affiliate that operates a variety of museums and historic sites in locations throughout the state that each highlight different periods of Colorado's history — from Victorian house museums, military and trapper/trader forts, an operating historic steam train and tour of a historic silver mine mine to a host of historical museums, such as the Ute Indian Museum, El Pueblo History Museum, Trinidad History Museum, and more. The main museum in Denver, where its rich historical collections are housed, has closed and will be replaced by the History Colorado Center, which is under construction. As a new statewide tourist destination, a thought-provoking center for civic conversation and an environment that encourages an inspirational journey into the future by understanding the past, the History Colorado Center will house all new, highly dynamic exhibits and educational experiences. During the construction period, History Colorado's education department continues to offer workshops, lectures, walking tours, and other educational and recreational events in Denver, as well as special events taking place at the statewide museums. Contact the education department for more information.

In addition to the new museum and education/public programs, the History Colorado Center will contain the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, the State Historical Fund, the State Historic Preservation Office, the Stephen H. Hart Research Library, and other History Colorado functions. Administrative functions will open in 2011. The opening date for the museum and public programs is not yet set.
