Huge cemetary has Russian Immigrants and other pioneers who once resided in the town of Glenwood Springs buried here. Doc Holliday is buried here as well but exact location is unknown. There is a marked grave with enclosed fence and a whiskey shot glass near the tombstone. Free Admission.
It's a small museum located in an old house in Glenwood, but it contains a ton of local history. I love that sort of thing. It costs $4 for adults and $3 for kids. I'd rather skip an ice cream cone and go see some cool history.
We enjoyed looking around and touring (self-guided) this museum-home. It's full of interesting artifacts and tid-bits. A fascinating piece to look at is the hair bouquet- a traditional portrait of those days made entirely of human hair. This one is made from the doctor, his wife and his daughter's hair. We learned from the museum volunteer that it was popular to give your sweetheart a hair portrait, or to have in your home as an heirloom. Very cool!
Great location, price and collective memory of this historic small town. Go for an hour. Make it part of your downtown walking tour before you go up Doc Holliday's Trail!
Our host was charming and informative, and very welcoming. The layout is thoughtfully executed, and a lot of information is packed into a tiny space. Good use of an old house, as well. The search game for kids was a nice touch, too. It's well worth the paltry entry fee.
人挺少的,其实博物馆也不大,倒是觉得里面很多东西都蛮过瘾的,而且讲解都很好,就是很带感情地讲,我们也听得很开怀。手信店的东西没什么好买的。
Nicely restored home with a variety of displays that were in good condition and even encouraged interaction with some of the artifacts.
I believe in supporting local historical societies such as this. They have collected many different artifacts from the old west and the area. It was interesting and enjoyable!
Lovely little museum and great to have a walk around. Some lovely souvenirs to buy and nice books.
The two ladies in attendance at the museum the day I visited were a wealth of knowledge and stories. Worth the time and few dollars to review the history of a great Western town. Feel free to ask the ladies for any thoughts on local things to do, restaurants, or happenings.
