Are you a recent Member to the Estes Park Museum? Join us today at 4:00 p.m. for a guided tour of "Destination: Estes Park," the permanent exhibition in the main gallery of the Museum. Museum Director Derek Fortini and Curator of Interpretation Mikaela Fundaun will discuss Estes Park History, historic artifacts, local art and artists, and much more. Museum members may bring a plus one to this event, no RSVP necessary. Member tours of the permanent gallery are offered quarterly throughout the year. This tour will be a repeat of those that have taken place previously.

During this after-hours tour, members and their plus ones will explore features of the permanent exhibit including the 1909 Stanely Steamer Runabout, historic films, oral histories, artifacts dating throughout Estes Park’s history, and the exhibition process. The Estes Park Museum gallery strives to connect the beautiful natural setting to the stories of growth and development of this unique mountain community.
