[TELLURIDE HISTORICAL MUSEUM]

The Telluride Historical Museum offers far more than artifacts under glass. The history of this region is part of what gives Telluride its colorful character. Our mission is to preserve and promote the rich and colorful history of the region. We bring history to life through interactive exhibits, programming and outreach.

Aside from a visit to our museum, join Telluride locals for one of our Fireside Chats, take a Telluride Afoot audio walking tour, read Harriet Backus' Tomboy Bride or take a hike into the high country in celebration of our rich history.

Please poke around in our website, learn more about Telluride history, and come see us soon!
