Cripple Creek District Museum

The Cripple Creek District Museum delves into the past of Cripple Creek, with exhibits that chronicle the city's role in the Gold Rush and Victorian eras. The crowning glory of the museum's collection is a set of five historic buildings that include an assay office, two miner's cabins, the Midland Terminal Railway Depot, and the Colorado Trading and Transfer Co building. Browse through an astounding array of photographs, mining memorabilia, Victorian furnishings and other artifacts that highlight stories of life in Cripple Creek during the Gold Rush from the eyes of the miners. Special guided tours for groups and school field visits can be arranged by prior appointment. There is also a gift shop at the museum where you can shop for souvenirs.
