i began visiting this lovely museum thirty years ago. I try to take my students to visit this lovely place when the Christmas holiday season is taking place. The home is beautiful and tastefully furnished in Victorian mode. It is filled with gorgeous period pieces, the majority from the original owners. The docents are very knowledgeable as well. I would highly encourage visitors to Pueblo to visit this home/museum and then to time the visit to enjoy lunch at the Cariage House on the property.
I've always heard good things about the Rosemount Museum and finally had the opportunity to take a tour. I am so glad that I did, and sorry that I didn't do it sooner. It's a glimpse into the past. The volunteers who give the tours are very nice and knowledgeable about the house and the history of the family. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is interested in the time period or the history of Pueblo.
I have always wanted to get inside one of these large mansions built back in the day. So my husband & I finally got to tour this one, 24,000 square feet of it. Most all the furnishings are still there just like when the family lived in it. The woodwork alone is spectacular, you really felt like you were back in time. It was fantastic to tour & learn about the family that built it & lived in it.
AWESOME tour guide! She was very informative; was able to answer a lot of random questions we asked about the mansion and the family. You could tell she really enjoyed her job. I felt like I was getting to really know the family that lived in the house as I was going through the tour.A LOT of the entire museum was original. None of the wood, walls, or carpet had been refinished or replaced from my understanding. Most of the furniture and decor was original. They even had a room full of collectibles they had gotten from different countries, including a real mummy! I would recommend it for those who are interested in seeing how those lived back in the day.
Pueble has a beautiful surprise treasure in this Historic Mansion. If you are looking for something to do this would be an afternoon or morning well spent. This was our second visit to the museum - and we will go back again when in the area. This time we were there during the "Wedding and Roses" showcase I think one guess called it, so throughout the museum were well placed period wedding gowns and fresh flowers which added to the great feel of this magnificent home that is as much a grand showcase now as I'm sure it was when it was built. BEAUTIFUL! A few surprises on the upper servants floor too that are a one of kind and unexpected find in this location. Well educated and enthusiastic docents that dealt with a family without acting put out - after all our children need to be exposed to our history too! I will remember all the beautiful detailed craftsmanship and luxury of this gem of it's time I hope for years to come.
Their special events like the Halloween Party are not to be missed and the kids love it. The whole family enjoys the tours and displays and we learn about the history of Pueblo. This mansion/museum is not to be missed and should be an included stop for any tourists.
A beautiful and historic museum! Quite gorgeous... especially with holiday lights. It has multiple floors with tour guides on various areas to give you the historical details. A non-expensive way to spend a few hours... good for adults or children!
Beautiful and well-preserved mansion owned by the Thatcher family, one of the old banking families of Pueblo. Ask for Yvonne, an excellent docent for our 1.5 hr tour.
Touring this museum is amust if you enjoy history or antiques. Going at Christmas time is even better. They ave it beautifully decorated from top to bottom which made it even nicer. They do have an old fashion elevator if needed.
Had lunch at the Carriage House restaurant on the grounds then did the tour of the mansion. Both are amazing structures, well ahead of the curve for when they werebuilt. The variety and quality of the woodwork in these buildings are fantastic as wellas a showcase for how things from the past were built to last.(The chicken pot pie for lunch was excellant. I reccomend having late breakfast orlunch as the Carriage House is only open from 9am to 3pm.
