Welcome... The Museum of the Mountain West is located in beautiful Montrose, Colorado. Call 970.249.4162 or email to schedule a guided tour. "The present disappears into the past with one step inside the building." Beverly Corbell, GJ Daily Sentinel View 500,000 artifacts from the mountain west displayed in store and office displays circa 1880-1930. Testimonial: I was so impressed with the authenticity of the museum "town". When I walked through the drug store, doctor's offices, dry goods store, and saloon--just to name a few--I felt like I had walked back into time. These are not replicas of artifacts from days gone by--this is the real thing! What a wonderful experience to see a museum in action. The careful attention to detail that reflected the mountain west between 1880 & 1930 was evident at every turn. I found recently retrieved historic buildings that were being carefully restored--an old school house, a teacherage, a livery & blacksmith, a church--in addition to a museum "town" that made me feel like I had walked back into time. I can't wait to go back! Sarah Armstrong, Charlottesville, Virginia |
