Rosemount Museum

Southeast Colorado


Pueblo’s premier historic attraction is this three-story, 37-room Victorian mansion, constructed in 1893 of pink rhyolite stone. It contains elaborate stained glass and elegant original furnishings. The top floor features an Egyptian mummy and other assorted booty from philanthropist Andrew McClelland’s global travels during the early 20th century.
