rosemount museum

We had 2 guides, one just told a story about a item, then she went home, another told another story about the same item. Upstairs, is hard for handicap and felt pushed along.

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!

This is one of the best places to visit in Pueblo. A beautiful historic house owned by one of the founding families - not to be missed if you enjoy history, art, or architecture.

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 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.

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.

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.

Rosemount is a great example of a Gilded Age mansion. Wonderfully preserved and filled with original furnishings belonging to the Thatcher family that built and lived in the home. The tour includes all the rooms from the ground floor to the third floor, family spaces to the servants domains. The woodwork details and stained glass throughout the house are exquisite. My wife and I had a good tour with a docent who grew up in the area and offered information about the city and other attractions. The tour makes a special effort to keep kids interested. The Carriage House restaurant is also worth a visit. The surrounding neighborhood includes a number of houses from the same era.

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.

Nice for just a day trip! Also a lovely park just down the road for picnics or just a break off the highway

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.

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.

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.

Reading the reviews for these kind of attractions makes you think that these historic homes are pretty boring. We have toured these type of homes all over the country: Newport, Rhode Island mansions, southern plantations, Frank Lloyd Wright mansions all over the USA, etc. This mansion is truly a gem and unlike any other mansion you might tour simply because the majority of the homes artifacts are original to the home. You'll see the beds they slept in, the china they ate off, the kitchen where the help made their meals, the books they read in their library, and more. There's even the rumor that some of the deceased family members are still in the house. I don't blame them; this house is fantastic and looks move in ready! The lovely lady tour guide is a retired school teacher(I could tell by the way she explained the tour rules-she even made me put my chewing gum behind my ear(just kidding). There are many details that were built into the house that I've never seen before. You'll even get to see an authentic Egyptian mummy, although that has nothing to do with the Thatcher family. We were in the house almost 3 hours for our tour so you'll definitely get your money's worth although I felt guilty only paying the $5 they charged for the tour. Don't hesitate. Just go. You'll be amazed. Also keep in mind that there is a restaurant in the restored garage and the food is very good and reasonably priced. Get there before you take a tour and make an afternoon if it!

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.
