My grandparents work here and I have been going since I was young! I live in Littleton but when I come to visit we often go to the museum. Fun place with lots of interesting exhibits ud83dudc4d
This place is AMAZING! We took our 4y and 1y boys and we all had a blast! Every single building was a pleasant surprise! Worth every penny! We will definitely come back! We got rained on but let me tell you it didn’t spoil the experience!
From the highway the Gunnison Pioneer Museum really doesn't make that much of an impression. Most of the museum grounds is hidden by a long steam locomotive imprisoned underneath a long shed. It is also deceiving because the museum is only open four months out of the year. I had passed it many times going back and forth to job sites in Gunnison. I had lunch across the street and the museum's appearance only provoked mild curiosity. Friday, September 18 I finished a project early and had a chance and time to visit the museum. And it was open. What a treasure! Just an incredible collection that fills 35 buildings and spans history from the early days of the territory's foundation to the 20th Century. Words cannot convey the volume and wealth of the collection this museum contains. I ended up spending four hours there and would have stayed longer if fatigue and hunger had not set in. I want to go back and spend more time with this collection and taking photos. I was overwhelmed and shown again you cannot judge a book by its cover. Or a great museum. Highly recommended.
If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! First, to get in it is $10 for adults and $3 for kids under 10. The two ladies at the front desk were great and very knowledgeable about the museum. There are several different buildings to look through and a lot of history! I was greatly impressed with the building holding all of the WWII artifacts. It took us almost three hours to walk through everything. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re a history buff! The only thing I would add to this place is maybe some information on the towns that were flooded to create the reservoir.
I could have spent a week here. What an amazing collection and wonderful people sharing our history. Highly recommend it for all ages. Something for everyone.
