It's a museum. Don't let the name fool you (as it did us). There are some permanent exhibits and some rotating. All worthwhile. We spent an hour, but you can see it in less time (we listened to lots of historic music of the town while seated in comfortable chairs). Inexpensive and worth a stop if you are in Golden... More

The museum is well cared for and has interesting information about Golden. Combine this with a tour of Astor House on the same ticket.

The three sites that make up this "museum" in Golden are a must-see for fun-seekers and western history buffs. Golden is lucky to have 3 gems so close together, available to lucky visitors. The History Center is a top-quality space in which to get a flavor of early Golden. The History Park will take you right back to frontier living.... More

Visited the Golden Cemetery Tour Oct 1st. Presenters were appropriately dressed in Period clothing. Very professional and well versed in their explanation of their contribution to Golden's History.

First of all, the Golden History Center has been re-vamped and the front desk is welcoming and cheerful.
