The Crested Butte Museum’s mission is to preserve, share and celebrate the history and traditions of Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley. Through engaging educational and cultural experiences, the Museum connects people to the past, the place, and each other.
From 1982-1993 there was no historical museum in the north end of the Gunnison Valley. Without a museum, there was no place to preserve and share historical artifacts and stories that define, educate and enrich our community. To address this urgent need, local citizens created the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum in 1993.
The museum operated in a few different locations over the next decade, before finding its forever home at Tony’s Conoco in 2003, a beloved local landmark and gathering place. Since that time, both the community and the museum have flourished and become beautifully interconnected.
