Things to do in Pueblo

• Rosemont Museum
  The Rosemont was constructed in 1893, cost $60,750, and was designed by Henry Hudson Holly, a noted architect from New York. The magnificent 24,000 square foot home, often referred to as the crown jewel of Colorado, is in Pueblo, Colorado and was the home of Margaret and John Thatcher. The auspicious 37 room mansion was named after Margaret's favorite flower, and was the family's home for 75 years. Almost all the furnishings, the paintings, custom paneling, window and wall treatments, decorative arts and accessories that are in the house were the original bought by the Thatchers. Constructed in the Richardson Romanesque type of architect, the pink volcanic rock of the house was quarried from the quarry in Castle Rock, Colorado. Within the interior, there are marvelous maple, cherry, oak and mahogany woodworks that are spectacular and great examples of the mastership carpentry that was available at the time. The entry way is made of golden oak, with a coffered ceiling and the biggest of the house's Tiffany chandeliers. An intricate oak staircase winds its way up to the second level, past an exquisite stained glass window called "Kingdom of Nature" and is 9 feet by 13 feet in size. Charles Booth was the creator, from New York, and the beautiful windows in the home were dedicated to the memory of the Thatcher's two children, Lenore and Albert, that didn't live to see the finished product. John was originally from Pennsylvania and came west because of the excitement and opportunities that existed there. He was a school teacher, then went into the mercantile business as a clerk, then a tannery worker, and back as a clerk in Denver. He moved to Pueblo and opened his own general store in 1863, and then his brother, Mahlon came in 1865. They opened a bank together, and it was chartered in 1871, as the First National Bank of Pueblo. During those years, John was able to become involved in many lucrative ventures, being an attentive listener and storyteller. His wife was from Wisconsin and the first school teacher in Pueblo. Her mother had died when she was five and her father remarried, moving the whole family to Pueblo. Margaret married John in 1861, and stopped teaching to have and raise children, as well as supporting John's many business ventures. They had five children together, although Lenore died when she was 13, and Albert was only 3. The other girl and two boys lived until the 20th century, with Raymond being the oldest when he died in 1968, a ripe 83 years old. There is a gift shop that sells many items of exclusive design and can only be picked up at Rosemont. Tours are given, and the museum holds many wonderful venues during the year, especially at Christmas. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been highlighted on the A & E cable network's America's Castles.

It is easily accessible and walking or hiking is not difficult.

• Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness Area
  This wilderness area contains over 22,000 acres of wild almost impenetrable terrain that is probably the least visited area of the state. Rising from the plains, the Greenhorn Mountain is over 12,000 feet high, and there isn't another place in the state that has such a tremendous change from the plains that goes up into a mountain. Over two-thirds of the area is wooded, with dry oakbrush and ponderosa pine changing into aspen, spruce and fir, into alpine tundra, with most of the east side being devoid of trees because it is so steep and rocky. There aren't any lakes, or other vivid natural attractions that bring people here. Small canyons and steep ridges are the main geological features, with some streams coming down the mountain side that contain the greenback cutthroat trout that is slowly becoming endangered. There are plenty of bighorn sheep, mule deer and elk, which is a hunter's paradise in the season. The 11 miles of trails that are in good condition, are on the northern slopes, while the southern remains waterless, remote and tough to hike, which explains why is has the least amount of visitors in the state's forest and wilderness systems. It is a perfect place for solitude and the quiet serenity of the forest; and the views are beautiful in their ruggedness. Some of the wonderful activities that can be enjoyed is bird watching, hiking, backpacking, climbing, stargazing , kayaking, canoeing and rafting.

• Comanche National Grasslands
  This national grassland in Colorado is the site of the Purgatoire River track site, which is one of the longest dinosaur track-ways in the world; found in the Morrison Formation. The track-way sits along the Purgatoire River and is accessible only by hiking there on foot, by riding horseback or using a mountain bike. Since 2001, it has been the place where many dinosaur bones have been discovered. These track-ways, of which there are about a 100, contain over 1300 footprints that were created by quadruped and biped dinosaurs. They are mostly in the limestone of the Jurassic Morrison formation and is believed to have been where a huge freshwater lake was found at the time of the dinosaurs. It covers over 435,000 acres of magnificent grasslands, where the dinosaurs used to roam. From 1749 until 1805, it was the homeland of the Comanche Indian, and once they left it became a huge pasture for grazing cattle until 1898. During the mid 1800s until 1880, the Santa Fe trail went past and was made a national grassland district in 1960. Presently it is used for grazing livestock, mineral production and recreation. There are over 257 different species of birds that call this area home, such as the red headed woodpeckers, Say's phoebes, lark sparrows, Bullock's orioles, mourning doves and western meadowlarks. In the Picketwire Canyonlands, you will find the dino tracks that are just amazing, huge footprints imbedded in the limestone and going in a somewhat straight line. Tours are given by appointments only, and can only be during the summer months from April until October. There are some areas that have historic rock art, the limestone markers from the Santa Fe trail and the early settlers rock huts.

• Wet Mountains
  One of the most unique homes in the state is the castle in Proctor, Pueblo that was built in 1867 using a number of architectural styles, including; Romanesque Revival, Scottish baronial, Dutch neo-renaissance and Queen Anne.  It is now a museum that is opened May until October.  The structure was built by John Johnson, a physician born in Pueblo and his wife from England.  John met his wife while going to school in England to study medicine, and used two English architects to help design the unusual monstrosity.  Taking eight years to plan and build the home, it ended up costing 1.3 million dollars.  There are also 18 outbuildings and was lived in only for a short time.  It was taken over by the banks, when Mrs. Johnson died and the good doctor couldn't afford the taxes or maintenance costs.  The antiques and other valuables were sold off to pay creditors and the castle soon earned the name Johnson's folly.  From the late 1880s until 1939, the property changed hands 4 times and then Herbert Wilson, one of the pioneer's in the AM radio industry bought it and set up the station WEWE in one of the stables, where it still operates today.  Herbert joined the Army Signal Corps during the second World War and came home, retiring a colonel in the 50s.  In 1981, he died and left the estate to his daughter, who still lives there in the servant's quarters.  Since 1962, it has been available for tours and is owned by the Wilson Foundation, Inc. a non-profit organization.  There is 115 acres of land, 32 rooms, 3 stories with 19 proscenium arches, English brick and French marble, 84 stained glass windows, 2 turrets, a parapet and a balcony.  There are 13 fireplaces inside with imported tiles and bronze finishing.  Asian and European antique furnishings, a statuary, oriental rugs and Chinese scrolls.  There is a huge glass house and aviary also on the property. 

• Steelworks Museum
  The Wet Mountains are a small range of mountains named for the amounts of snow that they get each year, and also called the Sierra Mojadas. Most of it is in Custer County and the highest peak is called Greenhorn, with numerous peaks. The valley down below has Silver Cliff and Westcliffe townships, while the mountains have Wetmore in Hardscrabble Canyon, one of the three ways out of the valley. The only other road is Highway 165, which goes through Rye and Colorado City; and the Bishop Castle and Lake Isabel. Bishop's is a stone castle that was built to look like those castles of the Middle Ages, and while some of the structure is open for tours, not all of it is completed. You can get there by the highway, which is part of the access route to use to climb the Greenhorn. Beulah and Rosita townships are here in the area, although Rosita is now considered a ghost town. Rosita was a silver mining town and means little rose. The only buildings now left of the 400 that were there is the old post office building that is today a restaurant, with the area around mostly semi-rural home sites. It was founded in 1872, when prospectors found silver, and it soon grew into a town of tents, saloon, hotel, blacksmith shop, log cabins, stores, an assayer's office and post office. Although there were some great strikes, the ore was gone within a few years, and after losing the county seat in 1887, it went downhill. The post office closed down in 1966, although the zip code serves Rosita, it is using the town of Westcliffe as its post office.
