The Old Homestead Museum announced special winter hours to service visitors coming to Cripple Creek for Ice Castles.

The museum will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week, hours Friday and Saturday noon — 6 p.m. with Sunday 11 a.m. — 4 p.m. The normal admission of $7 per adult will apply.

“The amazing Ice Castles are one great reason to visit Cripple Creek, so please enjoy that special attraction but take some time to wander about a block to Myers Ave and visit the museum for more local fun and flavor,” the museum said in a news release. “Guides will share many facts and fun stories.”

Once a grand brothel for the rich men of the Gold Rush Era in Cripple Creek, the Old Homestead is now a museum painting a picture of Colorado’s history for tourists from around the world.

“Please note our opening does depend on weather,” the museum said. “We will not want our ladies to drive on bad roads.”
