Right now it isnt very big because theyre doing some restructuring on the buildings which there will be more of the museum opening but what they have is very interesting. And for right now because its not fully open its free.

Great experience. The gentleman at the front wasnt very welcoming but the exhibit was well done and offered a vibrant and rich history of Trinidad. We really enjoyed our visit. 5 stars!

Nice people here.This is a National Park Santa Fe passport stop.

We took the tour with wonderful guide Matt Trujillo. Very interesting and informative. The original furnishings were amazing.

An interesting experience. It would be even better once they are finished restoring it but the parts that are finished provide a unique view of the life of wealthy citizens of Trinidad many years ago.

Front receptionist was very kind. The exhibits are thoughtful and you can tell a lot of love went into them. I hope to come back in the future!

Enjoyed having a place to show our daughter about her ancestors

Beautiful architecture, rich history and friendly guides

The 2 exhibits they had were ok... its 5 bucks to get in... but a big disappointment as on the website they advertise a block worth of musuem with 4 buildings and beautifully manicured property. We called prior to and the day of visiting asking about exhibits and nothing is mentioned about buildings being closed when asking about exhibits. We travel from Texas to visit... to be told when we get there all we get to view is one 40 foot long hall of pictures and basic artifacts. We were aloud to walk to grounds which I did have to ask to not so friendly staff person if we could do so. Very disappointing. The property was not well kept at all. I dont expect blooming flowers and green grass this time if year but a little upkeep would be nice.

Missed the hourly tour of the Bacca house but enjoyed the other areas of the grounds, museum and peeking thru the windows. Great memorial to a woman soldier in the garden.

Very well documented story about the growth of Trinidad and the Colorado portion of the Santa Fe Trail. Talks about the Trinidad community people active in the growth and the commerce of the time.

Good museum and bookstore. The historic homes are closed at the moment. Unfortunately, the young guy in the office was uninformative, not hospitable, and appeared annoyed we were even there.

Not much to view in this museum. Person at entrance desk not welcoming and if asked a question(1) was barely answered.

We really enjoy learning about local history and what made a place happen. Its small, but really informative. Knocking off a star because it was really warm in the main exhibit area.Really cool jewelry and crafts from area/regional artists in the gift shop.

Under renovation limited access

My son and I really like to go here and look around. Every time we go we find something we hadnt seen the time before. The town of Trinidad is so rich with history and its amazing to learn about and be a part of. We especially enjoy visiting the Bloom Mansion. You feel as if youve been taken back in time. The tour is self guided so you get to spend as much time as youd like wandering around and getting lost in the charm of the building. The museum staff are very nice and welcome any questions you might have. This is one of my favorite destinations in Trinidad and I will definitely be a regular visitor.

Because our tour group did not show up on the date the staff thought we were supposed to show up--not sure whose fault, ahem--we came on our own the next day and were treated poorly by the Male attendant. He would not allow small groups of us to see the Baca House because of his poor attitude. This happened today, Oct. 5. Again, it is not clear whose fault this was. A damper on an otherwise lovely visit to Trinidad.

Our tour guide, Bailey, was knowledgeable and fun.

Loved our visit to tiny Trinidad, including this museum. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The area is rich in turn of the century mining history and this collection of pre-Santa Fe railroad artifacts is impressive! You may need to park on the street. Expect to spend around 2 to 3 hours here, there are 3 buildings to visit. Would love to take friends here, I would go again!

This place was clean. The people were very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend it

Trinidad has a rich and interesting history of bootleggers and outlaws. This museum covers the history from the 1800s to the 1930s. A ticket also admits you to Bloom house, a historical mansion built by the Bloom family. In addition to interesting period architectural features, the house contains multiple vintage photos and personal effects.

Great place to learn about early history of this area and the Santa Fe trail. Museum was free donation accepted of course. The tour of the early wealthy pioneers homes was $500 and well worth it for any history buff. All in all a great experience.

A nice little museum and tour of the Baca house as I remember. Trinidad is a quaint Co. town. Be prepared to see pot stores with advertising similar to liquor stores or beer distributors though downtown though.

Great museum. They have Kit Carsons Coat. We got to tour two homes showing how 2 different nationalities lived. One raised sheep, one raised cattle (before fences to keep the animals on their own land)

Everything youve always wanted to know about the history of Trinidad. Told be the writings of the earliest settlers. Also general information of the region.

Very informative. I visited with my wife who is a descendant of John Hough. He was her great great great great grandfather.

Looking forward to visiting when the other exhibits are open.

A MUST if youre visiting the Trinidad area. Well worth the $5 for the tour. You get to see some BEAUTIFUL pieces of history that have been preserved.

Kind of a let down because there wasnt much town history, but rather history Id the areas settlement and initial function. Reasonably priced and you do get to go inside a very old (and quite likely haunted)house to kinda just wander around in it unsupervised looking around.

Old house to roam through

Cool area history impacts. I took a photo of Kit Carsons buckskin coat.

Great experience staff friendly Helpful lots of brochures take the Trolly tour thru town free of charge Informative very knowledgeable of the area👍🏽

Unfortunately did not have time to tour homes. Gift shop worth your time though.

Awesome way to spend a few hours a lot more history in Trinidad than I was aware of before visiting..

Best feature ...Kit Carson coat. Unfinished, not a true depiction of what it was like to live there.

History of the settlement of Trinidad area by white and hispanic settlers building businesses and developing road and rail transportation to the Task Plateau.

This establishment violated my constitutional right to free speech, furthering ignorance, stupidity and discrimination against all but the most conservative Christians~ If your religion is so fragile that a child hearing about calming techniques threatens it, perhaps it is time for some heartfelt introspection~The Kingdom of God is in your heart.Jesus🙏Namaste

Lackluster experience, leaves you yearning for an early Trinidad/Pioneer/Wild West history experience

Stopped in on my day off and got the tour. Very knowledgeable guide and the houses were nice and well kept.

Great museum. Amazing staff.

We went to the music on the lawn and weve been going all summer.

Wonderful staff and lots of educational opportunities for kids.

Seriously cool museum, much more than expected!

Great historical site, home of the Cathay Williams monument. Buffalo Soldiers!!!

We had a good afternoon here.

If you plan to visit Trinidad, CO do not miis out on this and be sure to ride the trolley!

Go on the guided tour. It costs extra but its worth it.

Great place to visit
