Gunnison Pioneer Museum - Museum in Gunnison - 803 E Tomichi Ave, USA

Great place to visit and learn about the pioneer life. We brought 65 scouts out west and this was one of the stops. More than enough to keep them engaged. Well worth the stop if you are driving nearby.

Acres of early life in Gunnison. Old 2 story furnished home that is very well displayed. Dozens of antique cars, trucks, mining equipment. Old saddles with a cool hat collection. A doll collection, old trains on display, you name it this place has it. Our group loved every bit of the walk at your own pace museum.

They have a multi million dollar collection of all sorts of things from automobile to saddles to telephone equipment to trains and more! There is so much history to see there, it's hard to see it all in one visit. We've been to other historical museums with homes and buildings but weren't allowed inside them. Here, you are encouraged to go inside and explore them. Our only disappointment was most of the items are in non climate controlled environments and will deteriorate faster. The next time we are in the area, we will definitely go visit again.

This place is really a must see! I dare to say one of the greatest in the country? They have something for everyone in the amazing collection of items of the past. From tractors, war artifacts, dolls, collector cars, a train, buildings from the area, school houses, old wagons, cowboy hats, and much much much more! Really incredible to have it all in one place. We spent about 2 hours with a 5 year old and 9 year old. Had we really looked at everything could take days. They have golf carts even for people to drive in to go to each building.

A fine museum! There is nothing there that is not incredible! The train is in amazing condition as are the classic cars... and there's a lot of them! There is also a considerable amount of war memorabilia of both world wars. The original buildings are amazing too. The grounds are enormous so if you want to see it all, don't wait until late in the day. They even have the old complete collection of 1976 bicentennial 7up cans I collected as a kid! Absolutely worth seeing!

My husband and I travel and work in Colorado 9 months out of the year. We’ve traveled through Gunnison several times and this museum is a must see. Probably one of the largest collections of west slope material we’ve seen. Little gals at the front desk are great and it’s only $10 per adult. We like to give more in their little donation boxes throughout the grounds. It’s a must see!

An absolutely amazing museum, 10 bucks and it took me and my wife over e hours to get through. So many incredible pieces of local area history. Beautiful buildings. A must stop if your in Gunnison.

You need a few hours, good walking shoes, and affection for old stuff. So much to see and there has to be something of interest if you have a varied group. My husband loved the cars, I enjoyed the check printer used by the city Fo Gunnison until 2012!
