Review:

The Ouray Alchemist Museum contains a breathtaking collection of historic medical and pharmaceutical artifacts. The items in the displays tend to focus mostly on the history of Colorado and the Wild West, but there are items in the collection from other areas, and even pieces that date back thousands of years, all the way to 350 BC. Guests should call ahead to book a tour, because the stories behind some of these artifacts, and the sheer knowledge of the guide, is unbelievable. There is a shop in front of the museum where visitors can view and buy some antique artifacts as well as collectibles, jewelry, old-fashioned candy, and plenty of other items that would once have been available in a Wild West general store.
