Review & FAQ:

Celebrate the history of Castle Rock and learn about its storied past at the Castle Rock Historical Society and Museum. The building in which the museum is located actually serves as its prime artifact and most distinct piece of history as the small depot was built in 1875 out of Rhyolite building stone, a type of stone that is native to the Castle Rock area. As the building fell into disrepair when it was taken out of commission, the Castle Rock Historical Society began renovation and restoration on the building and later opened the museum in 1997. Guests to the Castle Rock Historical Society and Museum can see various exhibits related to the history of the village such as the Rhyolite Exhibit, Rio Grande Railway Exhibit, and the Trailblazers of Douglas County Exhibit.
