There was minimal focus on the Settlers and the founding of the town. There was not much history telling daily life of the settlers before the uranium discovery. There was barely any mention of surrounding environment and the native Americans relationships to the settlers. Overall, it was a good way to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Admission price was $10 for adult and $8 for Senor. Free parking in front of the museum.

Bottom Line: A great local museum explaining how Moab came to be the tourist destination it is…read moretoday. Aside from modern day Moab being a big tourist destination and jumping off point for adventures in places like Arches NP and Canyonlands NP I didn't know much about its origins so I was excited to visit the Moab Museum. The museum is one large room and while you can view the exhibits in any order I found it was best to start at the very beginning and work my way clockwise. The museum starts with the indigenous people who lived in modern day Moab and ends with Moab being central to two national parks and a recreation hub. Missionaries, fur trappers, cowboys, miners, adventurists and dinosaurs were all covered in between. My favorite exhibit was about William Grandstaff. The exhibit called "Tracing the Story of William Grandstaff" traces his roots from likely being enslaved in Virginia to becoming a Civil War era soldier, frontiersmen, pioneer, cowboy, miner and saloon manager in Utah and Colorado. I love when museums leave me wanting to know more and William Grandstaff is definitely someone who'd I'd like to learn more about. I'd also like to hike the trail named in his honor - the Grandstaff Trail in Grandstaff Canyon. One of the best features of the museum were historical pictures of the Moab area that you could scroll through on a tablet. The photos really helped me understand the history of Moab. Admission was $10 for an adult and I felt it was well worth it. The museum has a good bit of reading, some artifacts and a few interactive exhibits sprinkled in so some kids might be a little bored but I really enjoyed it. Kids 7 and under visit for free and students are $8.

Most of it was HAND BUILT by the owners many decades ago. Really cool! But twelve actual minutes to run through it? Really? The docent was nice enough but obviously doesn't care about his job. It was almost funny how he was moving us through as fast as the candy on Lucy's conveyer belt. I reluctantly recommend the tour because the house/history is amazing, but the tour itself desperately needs a new guide and at least double the time to enjoy it. The girl at the front that sold the tickets was a delight: she enthusiastically answered our questions and actually seemed to enjoy engaging with guests.

It is being run by the artists themselves, 19 distinct artists who are putting their souls into this venture. We found a lovely selection of mostly local artists, from impressionist painters, to photographers. In addition to having original works of arts, there were many prints and reproductions available to choose from, from the various artists. We really enjoyed the personal descriptions the members of the coop gave for themselves, their approach to artwork and their love for their work. In the end, we purchased a few photographs, but also found a particular particular painting we enjoyed. And while that painting was unavailable, we found the artist and commissioned a work from her as a result. We found the people running this gallery to be honest, friendly, and thoughtful, and patient with their customers. A very nice presentation overall.

It was a hodge podge of confusing music, like monster movie type. When we arrived we were treated rudely by a man named Andrew in a straw hat.

It is not worth paying $30.dollars to go to these music venues when they have arrogant and smug people running these festivals. It is better to go on a River Rafting trip and have lunch with the River boat people. They had down to earth attitudes and were extremely intelligent. We really enjoyed this part of Moab.
