    We hit the town for a bachelorette bonanza and HAD to visit the Old Homestead. What an experience…read more Ida and Mary were very present for us and our tour guides were absolutely fantastic, so so so knowledgeable and welcoming and accommodating. I wish MY grandma worked at a whore house! Had us thinking about a career change by the end of the tour! Safe to say the customer always comes first at the Old Homestead House.

    When visiting Cripple Creek, we didn't really have a plan other than going to the Mollie Kathleen…read moreGold Mine, and wandering around town. We stumbled upon this brothel museum, and said why not? You can't pass up an opportunity like this. Our tour guides were phenomenal and knowledgeable. We learned a vast amount of knowledge about various things during the tour. The term swooning actually was just fainting because the corsets were tied too tight. The girls working out of the Homestead House made $100 a day, or what is equivalent to $7,000 today. The Homestead House vetted out their clients and it was exclusive. The person who received the bed spread in one of the rooms was the lady who started the museum in 1958. The history in this place is awesome. Check this museum out and you won't be sorry to learn about the history of the area, the women, and the house. When you're in the Old West, you have to visit what made the Old West a place of legends.

    Fun, small museum with interesting history. Entry is 8$ per person…read more There's old fashioned rooms to go in and look at how things used to be back in the day. Next, you can pan for real gold in a special area outside. Then, you can look at old furnished rooms (behind glass) with antiques & pieces of history including the bed of the 21st President. Lastly, there is a short film about Colorado Springs history. This place would be a great, short excursion if you are visiting Colorado Springs.

    Ghost Town Museum - A Mix of Magic and Misses…read more There's definitely a lot to see here--every nook and cranny is packed with relics from Colorado's early days. It's a cool peek into how folks lived back then, and there's no shortage of vintage eye candy. Some items are clearly marked with "Do Not Touch" signs. One wasn't--so naturally, my curious son gave it a go to see how it worked. A staff member walked by and, instead of gently redirecting, chose to loudly scold him in front of others. It was uncomfortable and felt a little over the top for a kid just being curious. Not exactly a warm, educational moment. We moved on quickly--but not before one of us made sure to gently touch one more thing, for good measure. The shooting gallery was a hit with the kids. Change machines are a surprisingly nice convenience. Gold panning? Fun to try, but we struck out. Informative movie? Worth sitting for. Gift shop? Cool stuff, but brace for sticker shock. All in all, it's worth a stop if you're into Old West history, but a little more grace from staff would go a long way in keeping the experience fun--especially for families.
