"Some really clever displays that
capture not only the feel of hard rock mining, but also the starkness of
the original hospital. So much to learn, could have spent the whole
day." S. Vandergrift
This historic miner's hospital
opened to serve miners and their families in the
Ouray area in 1887 under
the direction of the Sisters of Mercy. The museum is now owned and
operated by the Ouray County Historical Society. The museum currently
boasts 32 exhibits featuring Native American, Minerals and Mining,
Transportation and Railroad, Ranching, Hospital and Medical, Civic and
School Memorabilia, Firearms, Victorian and Gold Belt Theater.
