Governing body: State

Healy House Museum was the Leadville, Colorado home built by August R. Meyer for his bride Emma. For some time it was operated as a boarding house; two of the boarders were Dan Healy and his cousin Nellie.

It is a Colorado State Historic Site and is operated as a Victorian era museum by the state, together with Dexter Cabin. The two are located within the Leadville Historic District, which is itself a National Historic Landmark.

Healy House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
