The Hamill House Museum is the centerpiece of Historic Georgetown, Inc.'s comprehensive residential interpretation of the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District (designated 1966) within the context of the Rocky Mountain Mining West. The Hamill House Museum interprets 19th century residential living in Georgetown, Colorado: including architecture, furnishing, Victorian plants, landscaping, social and cultural lifestyles.

Originally a small cottage, this property was built by Joseph Watson in 1867 and later remodeled and vastly enlarged by his British brother-in-law William Arthur Hamill in 1879. The Hamill House presents the public with the elegant, spacious lifestyle of a silver mining magnate. Owner of extensive mining properties, Hamill's management of the famous and profitable Dives-Pelican and Terrible mining properties made him one of the best known mining men in the state of Colorado and the West.
