The Mount Sopris Historical Museum is now OPEN weekdays between 1-3 pm, thanks to our many supporters and volunteers. Learn about Carbondale in the early days, from its potato-growing, coal-mining roots, to the ranchers, cowboys and other characters that kept the Carbondale Spirit alive for more than 100 years. Maybe a local old-timer will be on hand to share his or her memories with you personally. We are accepting donations of historical artifacts, and would love to hear your own stories of this small, unique town in the heart of Colorado.
Current exhibits showcase the contributions of cowboys and ranchers, miners, homemakers and schools. You can read letters found in the pockets an old army uniform, examine the grades that school children earned in 1897, or explore an old mercantile store ledger to find the price of a box of crackers! It's all here at the Mt. Sopris Historical Museum. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the history...and the view. Free wireless internet, too! |
