Healy House Museum was the Leadville, Colorado home built in 1878 by mining engineer and city father 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.

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

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

The restored house serves as an example of the "Elegant Eighties".[2]
