An event every week that begins at 10:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday, repeating until September 28, 2023

Crested Butte became a registered National Historic District in 1974 to preserve our distinctive buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Join us on an Elk Avenue Walking Tour to learn about the history of the buildings, mining history, and stories from the community as we tour Elk Avenue and adjacent alleyways.  Tours cost $20 (members) and $25 (non-members).

 

We offer private walking tours outside of these regularly scheduled times for $25 per person, at a minimum of 3 people or $75 per tour.  Call the museum at (970) 349-1880 or email [email protected] to schedule a private tour.

THANK YOU

This site is dedicated to the staff of the Crested Butte Museum and to the memory of Ferdinand and Leola Yaklich, 88 year residents of Crested Butte. Ferd and Leola spent 59 amazing years together, raising their family under the watchful eye of these beautiful mountains. They were here as horses on Elk Avenue turned to men on the moon and a small, unknown coal town turned into a world reknowned ski town. Ferd & Leola were a driving force in building the Crested Butte community and bridged the history of those of 19th century Crested Butte and those of 21st century Crested Butte.

Dedicated by their Children & Grandchildren:
Trudy Yaklich, Fritz Yaklich, Mari Yaklich Ettlinger, Cindi Yaklich, Zeb Yaklich, Zach Yaklich, Ian Yaklich & Collin Harrison
