Relive the outlaw days of the Wild West in the unique and popular Cripple Creek Outlaws and Lawmen Jail Museum, the hottest selfie spot West of the Mississippi.

Housed in a red-brick building that served as the Teller County Jail for nearly 90 years, this historic Cripple Creek museum gives visitors a taste of the shadier side of life in the World’s Greatest Gold Camp, along with a glimpse into the lives of the lawmen charged with keeping the peace.

The curators of our Cripple Creek Outlaws and Lawmen Jail Museum have kept the original cells intact, so visitors can experience for themselves what life was like for those on the wrong side of the law. There are also displays highlighting the laws and the lawless, with samples of police logs from the 1890s, copies of early city ordinances and newspaper accounts of crimes both big and small.

Be sure to visit the Cripple Creek Outlaws and Lawmen Jail Museum in historic Cripple Creek. You simply won’t find a more authentic Colorado jail museum experience anywhere else.
