El Pueblo History Museum

A great and interesting museum. They provided all the valuable information of the town foundation and years of history. As a Mormon I was really surprised to see how the Mormons were part of the history of this town, and have they own little space in the museum. We have visited this place four times. My daughter really enjoyed the summer activities and the dress up area. The souvenir store at the enter of the museum is cute. I got a 30 years old brick that reads: Pueblo. I love it! I also got a Indian bracelet for my daughter, adorable!

Came through Pueblo in the afternoon, several weeks ago, and was able to spend some time in the museum. (Alone!)Which, for their big exhibit on a mining disaster with a life-size, almost hologramish girl, walking me through it. It was a chapter of us history I did not know, and they told it it incredible (and at times horrifying) detail. But you left understand the fear of the miners and their families and their desire to unionize.Pandemic:Clear and redundant covid signage heading in. Full contact tracing, PPE, etc, and even though I had it to myself, exhibits and museum capacity were limited to small #s of people in signage as you enter each area. Very impressive.In a way, how Pueblo handles covid, is its own history. As for all our cities. This is the first museum I've entered since the pandemic began. It was a sight for sore eyes, and an a feast for my hungry brain.Very well organized, and really kind staff. And I am amazed at the history I have glimpsed, in this now... small peaceful town.Thank you for sharing.

Sean Ayala was a very informative and gracious young man...the museum was fascinating. Learning about history and the way the Indians, Hispanic, and men that mined and their families were treated was eye opening. This is why history is so important.A great experience and I will definitely be bragging on seeing it!!!!

Informative and very educational museum of the Hispanic history of Colorado not usually explored in much detail. Certainly we (Texans) were not aware of the experience of Coloradans of Hispanic descent who had been deprived of their lands in the Sangre de Cristo mountains during the transfer of sovereignty over Colorado from Mexico to the United States.As in US history major, I had heard of the Ludlow Massacre but was not aware of all the awful details until I had visited the very moving and relatable exhibit on the massacre at this museum. This inspired us to visit the actual site of the massacre itself south of Pueblo, and that was a more affecting an emotional place for us to visit after having come to this museum.The best local cultural and historical museums open our eyes to new interpretations and new visions of familiar historical events whose better-known narratives that were written from one point of view. This museum did that very very well, and we recommend it to anyone coming to Pueblo Colorado, or even just driving by on the I-25.The day we visited, there is a festival going on and so admission to the museum is free. Even then the admission fees are very low in our opinion.5 excellent experience worth a stop stars

a very nice little museum documenting the history of the region. Unfortunately it's way too small and way too limited to give it a higher rating. However I would recommend it if you are from the region.The highlight was the opportunity to make my own adobe brick. This gave me a very intimate understanding of how these bricks are made that you cannot get from a textbook.

Go there if you are in the area It is an awesome place, great for kid s and family. Live the history of Colorado and enjoy!

Only $5 entry for an hours worth of history. Very interesting for us who are new in the state. Student discount and in a great downtown location.

Their website showed they were open, they were not call ahead, especially if your driving from Denver

This is a small museum but provided a lot of stories of the city's past.The staff, Bonnie, was special!She added more interesting stories on top of what we learned from the museum.We had a great time visiting there.

Volunteers not good at the word"Military" . sign states Military discount. Then when you get to the desk they make up thier own rule " uh, that active duty only". Well your sign states "Military I asked" , then it should be changed I stated. Theres is all services that are Military as you display that are not active untill Activated, National Guard, Reserves as well as your and don't forget them your disabled Vets..etc, etc. Get educated people and Change Your Sign!!
