Reviews
"A great place to learn about the history of Telluride. Great displays and very old items from the 1800's and before. Listening stations and videos keep you interested. The lady at the desk was very friendly and knowledgeable. The museum is small but will take at least and hour to complete the visit."
"As far as small town historical museums go, it was impressive. A large portion dealt with the ski history of Telluride, a little about the building itself, and a little about the mining history of the town. The historic house seems mostly intact, as far as structure goes. The displays are tasteful and interesting, predominately information boards on the walls, with a bit of extras here and there. The downstairs starts with the native-American beginnings, then the early days of town with mock-up store fronts and a room sized model of an old mine town house. There is an impressive imitation mine tunnel behind the building with various mining implements that can be operated a bit. Ticket costs were reasonable and desire what the website says, masks are not required, or ever mentioned. Good place to learn about the area. Nice break from busy town as well. There"
"Great your of the old parts of town - well worth the $15. Ashley was a super tour guide. Museum is worth the visit as it is also one of the oldest buildings in Telluride."
"A lovely experience for the whole family. Staff is dedicated and knowledgeable. Am adorable little gift shop at the end too. Don’t forget to he’s out back to see the old miners equipment. Probably not the best for the littles, but better for the 5 and up range I would say."
"Wonderful display of a town with such a rich and unique history. The admission price was just $5 each, and well worth it. I learned so much about the history of Telluride that made me further appreciate the time I spent there. Gold mining, labor feuds, prostitution, innovative trains, and early electricity are just a few of the interesting historical topics shared at this incredible museum. Must visit."
