I had been to Leadville twice before as an adult, and didn't know they had a one-time synagogue. This summer, I was there during the Pioneer Days and they had a sign out on Hwy. 24. Fascinating slice of Colorado and national Jewish life that, in the case of one person or two, became part of national American life, period.

Fantastic place to learn about the Jewish history of Leadville! And what a history. Jews were a major part of the old west and ran most stores in towns like Deadwood and Leadville. Come here to learn about Jewish cowboys, gunfighters, mayors, prostitutes, and businessmen. What a shame it's all gone.

Great little free museum showcasing the Jewish history in Leadville CO, dating back to the late 19th century. Friendly staff who knew loads about the history of the community

They accept donations. The docent there was very kind and informative. The pieces of history there were incredible. Very educational.
