The Doc Holliday Museum — Attraction in Glenwood Springs

The Doc Holliday museum is a room in the basement of The "western wear" store Bullock's. Apparently Bullock's store stands where the original Glenwood Hotel was (it burned down in 1945) Doc Holliday is rumored to stayed at the hotel before he passed away from Tuberculosis. Admission was $5 each for adult admission. You pay at the front desk (we didn't realize this until we got down there so we paid before we left). Holliday's gun is on display and it's pretty neat to see. Supposedly Doc Holliday is buried at a cemetery in Glenwood springs as well. They do not know exactly what grave so there is a memorial for him. We avoided the gravesite because reviews say it is a 30 minute treck uphill on foot. We were happy with the musem it was small but...

I was expecting a lot from this little town. They encourage and endorse “Doc” holiday trail and gravesite but the store that has the museum is not there. The museum is really just a bunch of toy guns and bottles collected throughout the years and placed in glass cabinets. The gift shop has a few items about Doc Holiday but not enough to pull the trigger and by something. This little town seems to be using “Doc” Holiday to promote and boost this town but they fall short. Great history behind the American legend they just need to work on...

A lttle bit of effort needed to find this exhibit in the basement of a Western apparel store, but well worth it. Donation of $5 suggested for admission. A great story about Doc Holliday's connection with this town and his subsequent death in the hotel that previously stood on this spot. You'll enjoy this fairly extensive exhibit and who knows, you.may find a nice Western hat, shirt and boots to take...
