Hamill House
1867/1879

The Hamill House represents the height of prosperity achieved during Georgetown's mining era. The centerpiece of Historic Georgetown's properties, this museum provides an understanding of the lifestyle and culture of a wealthy Georgetown family. Joseph Watson built the original elegant cottage in 1867, and his brother-in-law, Englishman William A. Hamill, later purchased it. Hamill made his fortune primarily from his extensive mining interests, including the profitable Pelican-Dives and Terrible mining properties near Silver Plume. Starting in 1879, he remodeled and greatly enlarged the house.Members of the family lived in the house until 1914. Afterward, the house served as a lodge, a boarding house, and a museum, before Historic Georgetown bought it in 1971.
