Crested Butte Museum
Book of the Month Club
Join us for a monthly book club where we will explore and discuss both non-fiction and fiction works that explore the history of our valley and the lifestyles of those who lived lives similar to those who established the town of Crested Butte.
At the beginning of each month we will announce our book of the month.
With a $30 monthly subscription you will receive a copy of our book of the month, available for pick up at our Museum Gift Shop, and an invitation to our exclusive private book of the month club meetings, to occur on the fourth Friday of each month. At our club meetings, we will discuss the book of the month at the Museum while enjoying adult beverages, snacks, and great company.
If you are not interested in a monthly subscription, you can join us for one month/ one book for $35, paid at the Museum Gift Shop.
Museum Members will receive a limited edition book mark each month.

Book of the Month
“Gilded Mountain” by Kate Manning – a historic fiction novel
GILDED MOUNTAIN is an epic historical novel set in the small marble-mining town of Moonstone, Colorado. It’s the story of Sylvie Pelletier, a naive young woman trying to find her place in a hostile climate and the wider world. The novel is a bildungsroman that turns the Cinderella story inside out and offers an illuminating portrait of the American West seized by robber barons, built by immigrants’ infinite toil.
