Exhibits
The Museum presents about four temporary exhibits per year in
addition to its permanent exhibit, Tracks in Time, which details the Estes Park
area's history. See the schedule below for current and upcoming temporary
exhibits.
Tracks in Time
The Museum's award-winning permanent exhibit on the history of the Estes Park area,
from the ice age to today.
Altered Landscapes
In the main gallery through September 20, 2009. Altered Landscapes
delves into the natural formation of the Estes Park landscape and its alteration
by humankind. In the exhibit, visitors can predict how alpine glaciers
will carve the landscape, test their knowledge of ecological succession and
visualize the Estes valley before the existence of its most prominent reservoir.
Patchwork Storytellers
Through January 3, 2010 in the National Park Service
Headquarters Building at the Museum.
| Have you ever taken time to get to know a quilt? These
intricate works of art speak to us through fabrics, colors and detailed
patterns. Many quilts are much more than patchwork -- they are
imaginative storytellers. The Estes Park Museum invites you to get to
know some historic quilts by visiting a new temporary exhibit, Patchwork
Storytellers. The Community Quilting Bee will give everyone, children
and adults, a chance to make a quilt together. After designing and
decorating personalized paper quilt patches, visitors can place them in
the community quilt for display throughout the exhibit. |

Estes Park in the '60s
 |
New!
Remember the days of shag carpeting, wide ties, Andy Griffith and console
television sets? For baby boomers, their Generation X offspring and everyone
beyond, the Estes Park Museum introduces a new addition to Tracks in
Time, the permanent exhibit that describes the history of Estes Park.
The 1960s exhibit includes objects from the Museum’s permanent collection.
Important contributions to community history of the era are included such as
textiles, a variety of community records including yearbooks, business
advertisements, photos and popular entertainment. |
