“Beautiful Old Home, Small Space, Great Information”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 11, 2013

Exhibits included information on Native American History, Mining, and Pre-Boulder Front Range history. Currenlty, the rotating exhibit focuses on the history and booming business of the craft beer industry. A fabulous museum to learn and be reminded of the history of the Front Range and Colorado Rockies. The museum is also equipped with an exploratory kids specific room too.

“Decient museum”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012 via mobile

This was a decient little museum. It showed some history of boulder. If you like that kind of stuff it's worth a stop. The old house was cool, though they really didn't have a lot of info on it.

“Packs a lot of information in a small space. Must see 60's exhibit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2011

The museum is worth a couple of hours of your time, especially in the cold winter months. There are exhibits of Native American history, displays picturing what life was like in the mining days and a 60's exhibit. The museum, while small, is in a beautiful house and if you like old architecture, you'll love this place. The staff was... More
