If you are a longtime reader, you know that we here at Only in Colorado love ghost towns, and lucky for us, Colorado is chock-full of these historic gems! However, what you may not realize is that in addition to the towns themselves, Colorado is also home to a fun and informative ghost town museum:

Nestled away in Colorado Springs is the surprising Ghost Town Museum, which is "committed to making the Wild West accessible to families and visitors of the Pikes Peak region by offering an authentic western experience year-round at a great value."

Opened in 1954 in an effort to preserve Colorado’s Wild West heritage, the Ghost Town Museum is a family gem that Family Circle Magazine named as one of the 55 most special attractions of America!
