“More Than Just a Barn!”
Nestled in the heart of Colorado's Central Plains, Old Town Museum embodies "Life In The Past Lane"! The 6 1/2acre historic site includes 21 fully restored buildings with authentic artifacts from the turn-of-the-century. Easily accessible from I-70 near the Colorado/Kansas border, Old Town Museum celebrates local agriculture, history and heritage.Special Interactive Exhibits offer children a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about pioneer life on the Colorado prairie. During the summer months you can watch the cancan dancers in the Saloon, enjoy an old-fashioned ice cream treat in the Soda Fountain and on weekends, ride the horse-drawn Old Town Express to the Carousel. The Old Town Emporium is a shopper's delight with nearly 2000 square feet of hand-crafted collectibles, gifts, keepsakes and souvenirs. Old Town is open year-round 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Entrance fees are $5 for Seniors (60+), $6 for Adults, $4 for Children (12-17), and $2 for Children (3-11). Children under 3 are addmitted free. Various year-round and seasonal activities bring Old Town to life and provide entertainment for all ages!
We loved this stop on our way through. It takes less than an hour, and the buildings are pretty cool. The kids liked it a lot too! I strongly suggest it. Also, stop by the carousel in town also!
Neat early 20th Century artifacts. Not kid friendly.
Fun little stop!
We (2 adults) did not enjoy it as much as we thought we would, having been to places like it elsewhere in the country. Felt more geared towards children -
however, we were there at the same time as a class trip of kids ages 8-10 were, so perhaps it feels different at other times.
Museum has several buildings to review, plus a main building with gift shop. You can tour the main building for free or pay to see all. A great view into the turn of the century.
