The Silver Cliff Museum
| The Silver Cliff Museum, located in the historical Silver Cliff Town Hall and Fire House at 610 Main Street was constructed in 1879 and still stands on its original site. This building was listed on the State Historic Register in 1997.
|
| | |
| The museum was formed in 1959 by the Silver Cliff Ladies Club, who turned the museum over to the town in 1996. The artifacts and memorabilia housed in the museum include an original hook and ladder, hose carts, various fire fighting tools and clothing, as well as mining, agricultural, and pioneer artifacts. All items were donated or loaned from local residents and families, past and present from Custer County, Colorado. |
| |
| The museum is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Off-season tours are available by request. Donations are welcome. Call Dorothy Urban, Curator, at 719-783-2837 for more information. |
| |
 | We collaborate with Mining and Heritage Days the second week of June and provide tours to the Turner Mill and Silver Cliff Cemetery at that time.
