Telluride Historical Museum

Telluride Historical Museum Located at the top of N. Fir, we preserve and share Telluride’s history through engaging exhibits and programming.

The Telluride Historical Museum offers far more than artifacts under glass. Aside from a visit to our Museum, join Telluride locals for one of our Fireside Chats, take a Telluride Afoot audio walking tour, read Harriet Backus' Tomboy Bride or take a hike into the high country in celebration of our rich history.
