Very friendly staff, beautiful exposition showing a household from the last century! (Late 19th century as well)
Do not skip this place! :)
Tickets were 5$ pp, definitely worth it!

Cosy in-home museum with a none the less impressive collection of 1800 and early 1900s artifacts and displays. Friendly informative staff who are happy to answer questions. Note limited opening times but this isn't a huge issue as the museum can be visited comfortably in an hour.
Really enjoyed our visit to this local history museum! Many communities can put together a collection of donated historical items. But here, these items have been placed in a great Victorian home that had been a local doctors' residence and office. Excellent staff who were very knowledgeable. Only $4 entry for seniors.
Nice little museum with friendly staff. Reasonably priced and many artifacts to look at. I really enjoyed how each room of the house was set up, makes you feel like you’re looking back in time. Cool place to visit if you happen to be in Glenwood.
As a history buff, this friendly staffed museum tucked into an old house donated to the society really is one of the better museums of its size I have seen. It is packed with a lot of displays and local history as well as period history overall. Interesting ties between Glenwood Springs and Leadville, but I will let you discover that. A great historical addition of knowledge to your brain if you like things such as this, as I do. Take the time to walk through and see what you learn.
We literally stumbled across this museum walking around looking at old homes. Fantastic home with some outstanding history, articles and artifacts from all over town! The host was super nice and made sure we saw everything. He even stayed open a few minutes late to let us finish out visit.
Great little local history museum for the Glenwood Springs area. We got to see Baby Doe Tabors bedroom set, a saddle President Teddy Roosevelt once rode, and many other objects from the area. Back when the wild west was just another day in the life.
The staff members we meet were extremely friendly, inviting and very knowledgeable. The museum is in a small house that's been around since the early 1900's. The tours are self guided so you don't have to feel rushed to read everything. A great way to spend some time learning about a time that you only see in the movies. Speaking of movies, there was a rather popular movie filmed in the area. The gift shop sells copies of it. Stop by an check it out.
I would recommend this little museum to anyone passing through the area.
