The newest exhibition at Denver International Airport (DEN) presents a piece of Colorado history worth bragging about – Colfax Avenue.
The Colfax Avenue: The Longest Continuous Street in the USA exhibit will be on display through June 2019. It is located on Ansbacher Hall in the Jeppesen Terminal, Level 6 North, before A Bridge Security. Historical and modern artifacts in the exhibit tell just a portion of the Colfax Avenue story.

The pieces are displayed in outdoor landscapes, inside Jeppesen Terminal and on airport concourses, as well as in the train tunnels and on the train itself.
