This is a fascinating museum. If you want to understand Pueblo, this place will thoroughly explain it's roots. The curator was full of info and delightful. I will definitely go back.

I love going to museums..I took my grandson for free day .. I learned so much about the history of the CF and I and Pueblo and surrounding counties.. you learn so much and you can feel so much history and everything you see.. it's only $6 for adults and $4 for children and I recommend more people to check this out.

Very very interesting true history of Pueblo and how this city "Steel City" was an integral part of the great Industrial Revolution in America

It brought back a lot of good memories as well as some of the bad. Strikes and layoffs were hard times. Victoria let me see Dads work record.
