First thing to know is they have limited hours, so be sure to confirm they are open. This is housed in a lovely home which was a very upscale for the period. The house is filled with many items that were not there originally along with some that were. It is not rich in interpretive information or signage, You can easily see it all in 30 minutes. There is ample street parking available.…

As with many local historical societies it does its best -- wonderful house and exhibits are relative to the locality instead of trying to do the history of Colorado, and Glenwood h as an interesting pat that is worth exploring.

If you’re in Glenwood and want to taste the unique flavor of its history, this is a nice little house museum for just that.

They have a free walking-tour booklet that gives you the skinny on buildings you’ll see in the city centre.…

As a history nerd, I love to check these places out. This was a fun way to spend a very hot afternoon in Glenwood Springs. Located in a house built in 1905, there are all kinds of artifacts to look at and touch. Lots and lots of local history in one spot. The volunteers were able to answer all my questions and were very informative. Even my children were interested in most of the museum.😉…
