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.
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. |
Before Estes: Evidence of the Native
American
In the main gallery through March 1, 2009.
|
Before Estes: Evidence
of the Native American looks at the material culture alluding to the
presence of Native Americans in the Estes Park area. At the time of Joel
Estes and his family, the first white settlers to the Estes valley in
the mid-nineteenth century, there were no apparent Native American
inhabitants. Without a written record of habitation, we can only gather
evidence in the form of the objects they left behind.

Medicine

Museum.
| |
The Estes Park Museum examines the history of
human health and medical practices in the Estes valley, from the healing
promise of mountain air to the challenges of medical care in a community
thriving on wilderness recreation and adventure. Adults and children
will enjoy The Operating Room, with health and medical activities
including making their own diagnosis with X-rays of real patients. |
