Did you know there’s another train depot in Castle Rock?

Visit the Museum and learn about the AT&SF railway and how the DR&G and the AT&SF went to war over laying railroad lines and how they eventually ended up sharing some tracks.

The Castle Rock Museum is once again giving free walking tours of Downtown Castle Rock for the summer.

Our next tour is  July 18th  at 10:30am. The 45-minute tour will begin at The Courtyard on Perry Street, between 3rd and 4th streets and will conclude at the Castle Rock Museum, 420 Elbert Street.

In order to keep with social distancing, we have to limit the number of attendees.  So, reservations will be required.  If we fill up, we may offer a tour at another time that day. Please call the Castle Rock Museum at (303) 814-3164 or email us at  museum@castlerockhistoricalsociety.org.  Masks will be required while visiting the museum.

The remaining tours will be Aug. 22nd and Sept. 26th.  Plan ahead and make a reservation now.

Since we haven’t been able to do monthly presentations and may not for awhile, we’re starting to make some virtual presentations.  Check out our first video on by Ron Claussen on Native Americans in Colorado at https://youtu.be/QMqpNeClaVY

As of May 27, 2020 the Castle Rock Museum has resumed normal business hours.  In order to stay in compliance with State regulations we have instituted some new guidelines.

• only 4 visitors in the museum at a time
• please call ahead at 303-814-3164 to let us know you are coming. so we can space people out and you won’t have to wait outside
• please wear a mask

We are open Wed – Fri 12:00pm – 5:00pm and Saturdays 11:00am – 4:00pm.

Due to the current situation with COVID-19 and recommendations coming from our Governor recently, all CRHSM events and meetings in May will be cancelled.  As much as it saddens the CRHSM Board, this cancel policy includes Victoria’s Tea Fundraiser and our May 9th Trolley Tours.  Our museum remains closed as well.  Continuing the recommended practice of social distancing and no-more-than-groups-of-10 poses to be a great challenge in spaces such as trolleys, public events and being in the museum.

Behind the scenes, the CRHSM is still “working” and our current project has been the establishment of an Instagram account and a media campaign you may have seen on Nextdoor.  We are featuring one Castle Rock location each month with a prompt for folks to contact our museum staff to learn more about the featured place.

We appreciate your continued support.  Let’s continue to take care of ourselves now so we can pass the Castle Rock history on to others in the future.

On behalf of all of us who call ourselves the CRHSM.

Thank You,

Staci McCormack, President
