The Healy House Museum and Dexter Cabin preserves several 19th-century facilities connected to Leadville's gold and silver mining history, open to the public daily between May and October as a living history museum. The museum preserves the 1878 Greek Revival-style Healy House, which was originally constructed as a home for August and Emma Meyer and served as a major social hub for the Leadville region throughout the late 19th century. Next door, the 1879 log cabin of prominent mining investor James V. Dexter, one of the state's first millionaires, is also preserved. Landscaped gardens around the Healy House have been restored in honor of Emma Meyer, showcasing native plants, formal Victorian urns and statues, and a beautiful gazebo. Visitors can embark on guided tours of both homes throughout the morning and afternoon hours, with group tours available throughout the year with advance reservation.
