About Glenwood Springs Historical Society
Visit us! We have a main museum downtown on Colorado Avenue, a satellite Doc Holliday collection in the former Glenwood Hotel at 8th Street and Grand Avenue, and our wildly popular annual Ghost Walk at Linwood Cemetery—where Doc Holliday is laid to rest—that takes place weekends in October.
