District Museum, Old Homestead Set to Open for Summer

Following a busy winter of making such needed improvements as interior painting and installing new sidewalks that now include a wheelchair ramp, the Cripple Creek District Museum is ready to celebrate its 55th year during the summer of 2008.

Over the winter months, Museum staff worked with a number of local contractors to finish painting the interior of the 1895 Midland Terminal Railroad Depot, as well as laying all new sidewalks in front of all three Museum buildings. "We are especially proud of our resident painter, Roger Dunbar," said Director Jan MacKell. "It took him just over a year to single-handedly strip, clean and paint all of the windows and woodwork throughout the Depot."

MacKell is also extremely pleased with the sidewalks, which were excavated and installed by MMH Inc. and Windsor Concrete. Local artisan Steve Donner is currently making steel handrails which should be ready in the next week. "Mayor Dan Baader put together a wonderful team for us," said MacKell, adding that in addition to excavating, MMH Inc. also provided much needed landscaping and moved several pieces of heavy equipment to improve the look of the Museum grounds. The project in its entirety was paid for out of the City of Cripple Creek’s budget for museum improvements. "We are truly indebted to City Administrator Bill McPherson for his assistance in making this happen," said MacKell.

With everything in place, the Museum is ready to open full time for the summer beginning Friday, May 16. Also, on Saturday May 17, the Museum is offering free admission to the public in honor of Armed Forces Day. "We want to show our appreciation not only to our military forces that day," said MacKell, "but also to all Americans who support the troops."

The District Museum is also pleased to be managing the Old Homestead Parlor House Museum for the second year in a row. The Wild Horse Casino, which owns the Homestead, graciously signed a lease with the District Museum earlier this year to assure the Homestead will be open once again. "We are, as always, indebted to the Wild Horse for extending this offer to us." said MacKell. The doors to Colorado’s only brothel museum will once again swing open on Friday, May 16 at 11 a.m. with guided tours.

Both museums will be open seven days a week through September 1. The District Museum opens daily at 10 a.m., with the Homestead opening at 11 a.m. Both places close at 5 p.m. Visitors will also want to make sure and visit in June, when the District Museum celebrates its 55th anniversary on June 14 and the Homestead celebrates its 50th anniversary on June 21.

DISTRICT MUSEUM RAISES THE ROOF, LEASES OLD HOMESTEAD

For the second year in a row, the Cripple Creek District Museum (CCDM) is pleased to announce that negotiations with the Wild Horse Casino have resulted in the leasing of the Old Homestead Parlor House Museum. "We are extremely pleased at the opportunity to manage the Homestead again this year," said Director Jan MacKell, "and we are again very grateful to the Wild Horse for working with us. We have some great plans for this year."

The CCDM not only has plans for the Homestead, but also a number events taking place during the 2008 summer season. The most prominent of these will be the celebration of the Museum’s 55th anniversary on June 14. "I’m not sure, but I believe we are the oldest same-site museum in Colorado," said MacKell. Close runners up include the Old Homestead, established in 1958 and the Victor/Lowell Thomas Museum in Victor, established in 1960. The party on the 14th will include live music, food and other events.

In the months both before and after the Anniversary Party, the Museum has a number of other projects in store. They include finishing restoration of a 1909 Seagraves Fire Wagon with a homecoming parade towards the end of April and commencing on Phase II of the Facelift Fundraiser which began last year. Among other tasks, the Museum is currently seeking grant monies from the State Historic Fund and the City of Cripple Creek to replace the roof, repair four plaster ceilings and replace electrical wiring in the 1895 Midland Terminal Railroad Depot. Additional foundation repair will be performed as well. "The depot actually survived the fires of 1896," said MacKell, noting that burned timbers in the attic attest to the building’s close call as the rest of the business district burned. MacKell also pointed out that the Museum welcomes any and all donations to continue their work. "We’re still a non-profit foundation, and we still need all the help we can get," she said.

Board of Directors member Steve Mackin is also working with the city of Cripple Creek and other organizations to install ADA-compliant sidewalks with wheelchair ramps this summer. It’s the second phase of making the Museum more handicap accessible, the first phase being installing an ADA compliant bathroom in the 1893 Trading & Transfer Company building last year. In addition, the CCDM has been working continuously with city officials to install a better interpretive display about the Museum at the Pikes Peak Heritage Center and explore ways to link all the area historic sites together. "The museums of the Cripple Creek District will be the highlight of our visitor experience in the heart of history here," said Mackin, emphasizing that working with the new administration at City Hall has been very effective.

Several other projects are planned at the Museum as well, including the completion of extensive window restorations which began in 2005. Painter Roger Dunbar has worked over the last year to strip or paint, caulk and repair each window in the depot, room by room. This summer, Dunbar will be painting the exterior of the depot as well as other areas of the Museum. As in prior years, the Museum staff will also continue to rearrange and better interpret exhibits throughout the three-building complex. They also hope to publish the long-awaited Gold Camp Cooking and Other Recipes from the Cripple Creek District this year, a compendium of historic recipes from 1885 to present-day.

But the Museum has more than one book planned. In February, the CCDM accepted an offer from Arcadia Publishing to produce a pictorial history of the Cripple Creek District. Arcadia’s Making of America series will publish roughly one hundred photographs that will be hand-selected and interpreted by the Museum’s staff and Board of Directors. Having received over 135 photographs from donors last year, combined with 45 photos so far this year and literally thousands of others to choose from, readers will be assured a well-rounded book illustrating the history of the District.

In addition, the Museum will be hosting no less than three book signings this year, including an appearance by KUSA Channel 9's Adam Schrager on Saturday, March 15. Schrager will be on hand to sign his new book, The Principled Politician: The Ralph Carr Story, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Carr, who served as governor from 1939 to 1943, grew up in Cripple Creek and is best remembered for his stand against incarcerating Japanese Americans during World War II.

Other events to look for this year will include "Trails Grown Dim: A Visit With Characters from the Past" in July, a sculpture exhibit in August, a "Doors to the Past" painting exhibition in September, "Night at the Museum II" in October and special free admission days during certain military and other events. The Museum is currently open 10 a.m.—5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday and will open full time for the summer on May 17.

District Museum Switches to Winter Hours

The Cripple Creek District Museum is downsizing its hours for the winter months, but is pleased to announce that the Gift Shop will remain open five days a week. Beginning October 15, hours at the Museum will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Museum Gift Shop will remain open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Tuesday and Wednesday.

Although the Museum is reducing its hours, a flurry of projects are still in the making. "It’s been an exciting summer," remarked Jan MacKell, who was made permanent Director in September. "We’ve done so much to spruce the Museum up and it made a difference in the number of visitors who came to see us this year." Beginning last December the Museum embarked on a number of projects that included new paint and carpet, repairs, rearranging exhibits and installing an ADA bathroom that will hopefully be able to open soon.

But the Museum isn’t done yet; most recently, a 1909 Seagraves Fire Wagon that served CCFD #3 was taken to Colorado Springs for restoration. Kelly Hagen of Ghost Town Museum will be performing the work. "Kelly’s work is unsurpassed," said MacKell. "The quality and care he puts into his projects are simply amazing." The project is expected to take about four months, and the Museum is welcoming donations to help defray the cost.

Some of the assistance will come from new members of the Friends of the Museum, a campaign started in August that has yielded almost forty members so far. "We are still doing our mailers," explains MacKell, adding that those wishing to get in on the Charter Membership with special benefits have until December 31 to join.

During the winter, the Museum staff will be working to procure grant monies to complete other needed projects. These include such repairs as on a water-damaged wall on the MTRR Depot building, installing a new roof on the Depot and stabilizing seven other wagons, plus a number of other projects.

The Museum is also continuing to host monthly events. Look for "Night at the Museum" on October 31 from 5 to 9 p.m. Ghoulish characters from the past will be lurking around the Depot and goodies will be available for trick-or-treaters. An admission fee of $3 will go to support the Museum’s efforts. In November the Gift Shop will host a pre-Christmas book signing, and former shopkeepers from Cripple Creek’s halcyon days as a shopping mecca will be selling their wares and visiting with old friends in December.

CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT MUSEUM MAKES FALL PLANS

The summer season may be coming to a close, but the Cripple Creek District Museum has big plans for a fun-filled fall.

During the last several months, the staff at the CCDM have been laboring to give the three historic buildings located in the Museum complex a fresh look with new paint and carpet, needed repairs, and the cleaning and rearranging of several displays. "The decision to give the ol’ gal a facelift was actually made in December," explained Director Jan MacKell. "A tire had come off a semi-truck and struck the 1893 Trading & Transfer Company building. We figured that, since we had to make repairs, we ought to embark on some other needed projects as well."

One of those projects included completing a grant received by the El Pomar Foundation in 2005 to restore a number of deteriorated windows in the 1895 Midland Terminal Depot and install an ADA-compliant bathroom in the Trading & Transfer building. The project is expected to be completed within the next month when the City of Cripple Creek installs a water line to the bathroom.

The Museum’s "Facelift Fundraiser", partnered with a new "Friends of the Museum" campaign, has also awakened Cripple Creek and surrounding communities to the importance of Teller County’s oldest historical institution, which has worked to preserve the history of the Cripple Creek District and Teller County since 1953. "It’s been a lot of hard work," remarked MacKell, "but the Museum looks better than it has in many, many years." MacKell also said that due to the increased publicity, donations of historical items to the Museum have increased and proceeds are up 10% over last year. Board President Bonnie Mackin stated, "We are very pleased with the increase in numbers and dollars this summer at the Museum and with all that Jan and her staff have done to improve this treasured Cripple Creek attraction."

As part of the effort to stay on focus within the community, the CCDM has also held no less than one event a month beginning in May. They have included "Trails Grown Dim", a day-long visit with characters from the past and performed by local volunteers, and last month’s exhibit of award-winning bronze sculptures by artist Michael Halterman. "We could not have done a lot of this without all of our wonderful volunteers," said MacKell. "they have just come out of the woodwork to put their time and effort in on behalf of the Museum. We are very grateful to all of them."

The Museum also gave a presentation at Cresson Elementary School and several other organizations in the region over the summer. Two other goals: production of a 15-minute video explaining the gold assaying process and the temporary lease of the Old Homestead Parlour House Museum, are considered crowning achievements of which the Museum is very proud. "It was a joy working with Steve Attenuccio Attonucio and the CC&V Mine producing this fine video of the assay process," remarked board member Stephen Mackin.

In keeping with their plan to continue hosting community events, the CCDM has several celebrations in store for September. During September 7—9, the Museum will host visitors from Colorado Preservation Inc., Colorado’s largest historic preservation organization, with guided walking tours of both museums and Cripple Creek and Victor, as well as a book signing at the Cripple Creek Elks Lodge with MacKell and Tom "Dr. Colorado" Noel.

Then on September 15, the Gold Camp Victorian Society’s annual "Mt. Pisgah Speaks" cemetery tours will leave from the CCDM. That same day, the Cripple Creek Unified School District will host an "ABC School Bond Fundraiser" from 1—5 p.m. in the Trading & Transfer Building to raise money to address needed improvements at Cripple Creek-Victor High School. " Hors d’oeuvres will be served and local artists will be selling their wares to benefit this cause; all proceeds will go towards the bond.

On September 29, the CCDM will next partner with the Smithsonian Institute and Hyundai Motor America to host Museum Day 2007. Free admission to the Museum will be offered to all Smithsonian members showing their membership card at the CCDM, as well as over 450 other institutions across the country. "We are really happy to be working with the Smithsonian for this occasion," said MacKell. Last year approximately 30,000 people attended Museum Day nationwide.

Patrons to the Museum can also look forward to more exciting events, including a "Haunted Museum" tour in October, a pre-Christmas book signing and Gift Shop Sale in November. The Cripple Creek District Museum is located at 5th & Bennett Avenue in beautiful downtown Cripple Creek. For more information, call 719-689-2634 or access the website at

Historic Museums Merge With New Management

The Cripple Creek District Museum is pleased to announce a lease agreement with the Wild Horse Casino, owners of the historic Old Homestead Parlour House Museum.

In an agreement signed just last week, the CCDM will oversee operations at the Old Homestead during the next four months. "We are extremely pleased that the Homestead is open for business again," said CCDM Director Jan MacKell. "It was very important to us, but also the Wild Horse, that the Homestead remain available to the public."

Opened in 1896 by the notorious Madam Pearl DeVere, the Homestead offered only the finest in women, liquor and entertainment. After closing in the 1930's, the house was privately owned for a short time before being opened as a museum in 1958. Today, the historic brothel is the only museum of its kind in Colorado and one of only three in the United States. "In fact, one of those three, the Dumas Brothel in Butte, Montana, is currently closed due to its dilapidated condition," noted MacKell. "That makes the Homestead even more important."

Wild Horse General Manager Bob Jeffries first contacted the CCDM in early February about leasing or managing the Homestead. The two entities worked for several months before coming up with a viable solution in time for Donkey Derby Days. "I am thrilled and happy, and I’m looking forward to creating a stronger heritage attraction for Cripple Creek," said Jeffries. "We want to demonstrate that this is a viable entity, and we’re looking forward to building a strong relationship between the Wild Horse and the Cripple Creek District Museum."

CCDM President of the Board Bonnie Mackin expressed similar feelings. "We appreciate the Wild Horse’s cooperation and patience with us while we figured this out," she said, "and we are so glad the Homestead is open once more for people to enjoy. We are so grateful to all the owners and especially Bob Jeffries for giving us this opportunity. And I really want to thank fellow board member Ike Hern and Jan MacKell, who were integral in getting this deal put together."

Familiar faces at the Old Homestead include Lodi Hern, who owned the museum from 1967 to 1995 and has conducted tours there for forty years. "I’m glad to be the madam again," said Hern. "And I’m just happy the house is back open. It is a landmark not just in Cripple Creek, but all of Colorado."

During the four month term of the lease, the Homestead will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through September and on weekends in October. For more information or to schedule a tour, call the Cripple Creek District Museum at 719-689-2634 or access the Museum website at www.cripple-creek.org.

 District Museum Throwing "Facelift Fundraiser" Party

 
c 2007 by Melissa Trenary
 
    Located at the east end of Bennett Ave. is one of Cripple Creek’s most valuable, yet often overlooked treasures—the Cripple Creek District Museum. This grand lady, who has watched over Cripple Creek for more than 100 years, is now receiving a long overdue facelift. 
   
Last December, the Colorado Trading & Transfer building suffered damage at the hands of a stray semi-truck tire.  The Museum decided to turn the accident into a positive experience by giving the entire complex a fresh look. “We’re giving the lady a facelift, buying her a new dress and a new pair of shoes," says Director Jan MacKell. “We want to restore her to her former elegance and really make her sparkle again.”

 

    To show off the recent renovations and enlist donations in support of continuing projects, the Museum will be hosting a “Facelift Fundraiser Party” May 14 –20 from 10:00a.m.—5:00 .pm. Admission is free and refreshments will be served all week. Visitors to the museum will have an opportunity to view the recent renovations as well as speak to the staff about future projects. Also, partrons are welcome to become a "Friend of the Museum." Memberships are available at various donation levels and entirle members to discounted admissions and other perks.

 

    This week also marks the full time opening of the Museum for the season. Summer hours will be seven days a week from 10 a.m.—5 p.m. The Museum complex is comprised of three historic buildings: the former Midland Terminal Railroad Depot that was in operation from 1895—1949, the 1893 Colorado Trading & Transfer Co. building (the only wooden structure on Bennett Ave. to have survived both the fires in April of 1896), and a turn-of-the-century Assay Office which is know to have been on the site as early as 1949. The Assay Office has in fact received the most noticeable revival thus far.  Award-winning artist Noel Wallace has been busy touching up signs, painting the windows, and applying a "patina" to the entire building. "They wanted to really bring the little Assay office to life,” says Wallace.  “I told people I was working at the Museum, and they assumed I was painting the other two buildings. No one even realized that building was there.” The goal for the Assay office has been accomplished; a once overlooked structure now stands out like a princess on coronation day.

 

            The Depot is also receiving a fresh coat of paint inside and out. Painter Roger Dunbar is working his way through the building room by room. The third floor is now completed, with three rooms depicting Victorian life and a room recreating Governor Ralph Carr’s office looking brand new. “The third floor has taken on an entirely new look,” says MacKell. “It looks better than it has in years.” Dunbar is currently refinishing all of the original Wainscot and trim work on the second floor and will paint the exterior of the Depot and Trading & Transfer buildings this summer.

 

            In addition to the exterior repairs made by Rick and Ian Cluxton, the Trading and Transfer building is receiving interior renovations. Kent Burgess and John White, both of Victor, have been hard at work constructing an ADA-accessible restroom. The project was made possible with funding from a 2005 El Pomar Grant. Burgess and White are also working on other needed repairs around the Museum.

   

    Other recent upgrades have included installing U V-protective windows in the Depot building to protect the artifacts from damage and deterioration caused by sunlight.        Wayne Stewart, owner of The Lock Shop in Woodland Park, has generously donated his time upgrading and installing security systems and fire alarms throughout the complex. And, Museum staff, board members, and volunteers have been working hard cleaning, rearranging and labeling displays room by room. It’s a project that will last throughout the summer, but MacKell is excited. “People like to see activity going on around here. They keep coming up to see what we’re doing, and what changes we are making.”

 

     As the weather warms up, visitors will notice several outside projects getting underway. Hardrock Park, located directly behind the Assay Office, will be getting a whole new landscape as will as the addition of interpretive signage. Volunteers are invited to come pull weeds and plant flowers at a “Landscape Party” later this month. In addition to landscaping projects, the Museum will be working with Kelly Hagen of The Ghost Town Museum in Colorado Springs to restore three historic wagons, a wooden ore cart and a sleigh once owned by Winfield Scott Stratton. They will also be restoring an 1890’s fire wagon from the Cripple Creek Fire Station #3 brigade. The Museum also has dreams of restoring the rear side of the Colorado Trading & Transfer building to its original size and design. Grants are currently being pursued to help make this and several other projects possible.

 

    MacKell would like to thank everyone who has worked to make the renovations and upgrades happen. She especially wants to thank Vinnie Dorazio, Harry Pitlik, Mark Snare, Lyle Rose, Missie Trenary, and Dean “The Spoon Player” who have all graciously donated their time to a number of projects. “We are indebted to all those who have helped us out.  The support form the community has really been great.” The Museum is also grateful for several recent donations from various pioneer families. 

 

    The Cripple Creek District Museum is a non-profit organization that is operated under the guidance of a seven member board of directors: Bonnie Mackin, President; John Bowman, Vice-President; Georgianna Peiffer, Secretary; Ike Hern, Treasurer; Stephen Mackin, John Sharpe, and Mary Alice Robinson. Most of the members grew up in the District and have very strong ties to the community and it’s history. Combined, they have over 300 years of knowledge and love for the Cripple Creek District.

            For more information regarding donations, renovations, tours or Friends of the Museum membership please contact the Cripple Creek District Museum at (719) 689-2634 or visit their website at www.cripple-creek.org .  E-mail can be sent to ccdmuseum@ccvnet.net .
