Golden History Museum & Park

Happy we stopped by this visit to Golden. Have been by the area many times but they're always closed due to the hours. They close on the earlier aide of the day. But today they were open. Cute small museum. We entered 30 minutes before closing time and that was enough time for us to go through the different rooms and see some of the highlights. Interesting history. The staff was very nice and helpful. Free admission. Free Activities for kiddos to do if you have younger kids. Recommend if you have free time and are in the area.

Great lecture Jan 28th on the WWII 10th Mountain Division by author Lance Blyth "Ski Climb Fight" (Instagram @mtn_war). The photos I've attached are in a display of the local Native American attire. The small ivory colored decorations are elk teeth.

This was an amazing FREE history museum, the worker Kermit was absolutely phenomenal. They have a cute little gift shop and so many cool things to look at. Definitely recommend

We enjoyed walking around the museum. It's free and a nice place to spend an afternoon. They have kids activities, seating, WiFi, and tables outside by the river. The parking is free. Just be sure to park in the museum designated spots or you can get a ticket. The employees at the desk are very friendly and helpful. We learned that their chicken coop currently does not have chickens but they are getting new baby chicks in spring 2025.

What a museum for free. Very well done and not crowded on a Saturday on 30 Jan 2021. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of free parking on property and close by. Clean restrooms and facility. Recommend allowing 3 hours to do all the inside, less if you don't read everything or watch the videos. An additional hour for the outside exhibits where you can feed chickens; $.25 cents for feed available. There are also ducks in the creek if you want to bring something to feed them. Like many things in life, this museum gives back what you put into it. Our group including 3 teens, age 12 to 15 spent 3 hours inside and an hour outside. The teens participated in a scavenger hunt and were given a prize upon completion. The museum itself has lots of little gems if you take the time to search them out and can be accomplished in three hours very easily, but many spend much less time. We learned a lot about Golden and the people the museum highlights. Exhibits evidently do change and we'll be back again. Woody's Pizza is a great finish to the day.
