Scott Carpenter, seen here in this 1959 photo, was born in Boulder in 1925 and later attended Boulder High School. Prior to his death in 2012 he lived in Vail. He was the second American astronaut to orbit the Earth and the fourth American to enter into space. He was one of NASA's seven Mercury program group, which also included John Glenn, Gus Grissom and Alan Shepard. A popular park for sledding and swimming in Boulder -- Scott Carpenter Park -- is named in his honor. It includes a large rocket-shaped climbing structure at its playground.

Greeley Freight Station Museum

The Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art is a hidden treasure of Denver. It's a museum that celebrates art and design in a unique way. CBS4 Critic at Large Greg Moody says moving through the museum is like getting lost in the most amazing attic you’ve ever seen, to the point where "your brain very nearly goes on overload." Part of the studio is housed where artist Vance Kirkland taught and where did his last work. The collection includes some of his work and some art he loved. It ranges from fine art to decorative art to glasswork to small appliance design. The museum located at 13th and Pearl. It's open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $7 and children under 13 are not allowed because of the layout and the fragile nature of much of the displays.
