Old Homestead House Museum

An 1896 building in Cripple Creek that was once the gold camp's most exclusive brothel — run by legendary madam Pearl DeVere — and is now one of only three brothel museums in the country, its opulent parlors preserved down to the running water and electricity that made it elite.

The move: Take the hour-long guided tour of madam Pearl DeVere's opulent parlor and bedrooms, and hear how Cripple Creek's gold-rush gentlemen really spent their nights.
