Review of Meeker Home Museum

A good place to step back into the 19th century, this impressive two-story adobe home was built in 1870 for Greeley founder Nathan Cook Meeker. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, it is furnished with original family belongings and period antiques, including a 10-foot-tall diamond-dust mirror. Interpretive panels discuss the history of Greeley and vicinity, with an emphasis on the family's struggle for survival after Nathan's death in the 1879 Meeker Massacre. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
