The Gunnison County Pioneer and Historical Society had its beginning in the 1880 with early pioneers who settled in the Gunnison Valley. The Pioneer Society was reorganized and incorporate as a non-profit organization in 1930.

From its very beginning the society stated its interest in preserving the history of the pioneers of Gunnison County and by 1964 the Pioneer Museum was finally begun.

The Board of the Society oversees the operation of the Museum which is staffed mostly by senior volunteers. These volunteers are happy to answer your questions as you browse the exhibits at your own pace.

The Museum grounds, its 18 buildings, the artifacts and memorabilia that make up the many displays have been donated by generous members and friends of the Society. Most of the items on display date back to the early settlers. The Museum's collections truly represent the cultural history and heritage of the people of Gunnison.

"The Pioneer Museum was one of the highlights of our trip throughout Colorado.
Wait until you see what's behind the Train!" - The Keck's Littlteon, CO
