    This was a fabulous museum tour we took while in the incredible and very old city of Cripple Creek…read more This is a beautiful gold rush era mountain town up around 10k feet. This museum used to be a working train station and as such has some very interesting stories and artifacts. It's like stepping in time 150 years and seeing how people once lived and conducted themselves. I could damn near feel the ghosts in this city and this museum. The price was extremely reasonable and worth every cent. There several floors to explore and I left was a better understanding of the lives of my great great grand parents. If you find yourself in Cripple Creek, I highly recommend visiting this museum.

    This is a fabulous museum, consisting of the Midland Terminal Railway Depot, the Colorado Trading…read moreand Transfer, the Assay Office, as well as (2) Miner's Cabins. You can really take as long as you want to your all the buildings and the grounds, which are all grouped together within about a one square block area. Wife and I just loved the place. It was a bit on the quiet side, so we felt like we weren't rushed, and employees explained things as we went along. For instance, I didn't know prior who Ralph Carr was, and how important he was to the area (Cripple Creek) and it's developement. Yep, there are restrooms on site, and the were even clean! I know you get tired or hearing me speak of restrooms in my reviews, but travelers find this an important issue!

    Came through Pueblo in the afternoon, several weeks ago, and was able to spend some time in the…read moremuseum. (Alone!) Which, for their big exhibit on a mining disaster with a life-size, almost hologramish girl, walking me through it. It was a chapter of us history I did not know, and they told it it incredible (and at times horrifying) detail. But you left understand the fear of the miners and their families and their desire to unionize. Pandemic: Clear and redundant covid signage heading in. Full contact tracing, PPE, etc, and even though I had it to myself, exhibits and museum capacity were limited to small #s of people in signage as you enter each area. Very impressive. In a way, how Pueblo handles covid, is its own history. As for all our cities. This is the first museum I've entered since the pandemic began. It was a sight for sore eyes, and an a feast for my hungry brain. Very well organized, and really kind staff. And I am amazed at the history I have glimpsed, in this now... small peaceful town. Thank you for sharing.

    We visited today after a long hiatus. This is certainly among the lamest museums we have ever had…read morethe misfortune to tour. It SHOULD be a repository of artifacts about the varied history, cultures and ethnicities that have built the City of Pueblo from the 1840s to present. What it IS is something different. There are three sections. One gives a very brief history of the establishment of the original trading post/fort/community established in 1842 and its demise. The rest of the section focuses almost exclusively on the Hispanic people of the area as well as the indigenes. Display placards, all of which are in Spanish first, then English through the museum, consistent label American settlers as 'colonizers' and 'anglos' throughout. The second section, is dedicated completely to the steel industry labor movement in Pueblo. The third is about a small, fringe section of the city, featured because of the strong presence of citizens with Hispanic heritage. There's a lot of wasted space in the attractive building. Years ago, it used to have many more artifacts and gave a somewhat more balanced presentation of the rich history of Pueblo. Most all artifacts that do not support the present narratives are removed.
