Step
inside the Mt. Sopris Historical Museum in Carbondale, Colorado...you'll be standing inside an authentic homesteader’s
cabin built in the 1880s. The Museum showcases the treasured tools, photographs and household goods that tell the story
of Carbondale’s past, its development as a place known for closeness to the land, spirit of community and magnificent
scenery.
Carbondale
was a town that supplied the surrounding communities with the labor and materials that allowed them to thrive. Nearby
Aspen and Glenwood needed the labor, coal, and potatoes produced in Carbondale to run their industries. Connected by
rail, each town had its own individual character. Carbondale was the quiet place, less opulent, but with a collection of pioneer
characters that set the stage for the independent attitudes that prevail here to this day.
