The Sanford Colorado History Museum is located in the original Sanford Town Hall, which was built in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. Over the years, the Town Hall was the site of town offices, dances and other social events, band practice for the Sanford School, and fire department. A tower was added after World War II which served as an airplane lookout station during the Cold War. In 1995, Mary June Miller, Madge Perko, and Gary Bailey organized the Sanford Museum in the Town Hall building. They collected memorabilia, photos, and artifacts relating to the history of the Sanford and Las Sauces, the geographical area included in the Sanford School District.
