For only $6, you can see a huge amount of artifacts and history collected into one place. They recently redid the building, so it's very new and clean inside. There's a nice winding path that takes you all through the Ute Story, from the creation and Bear Dance, to interaction with other tribes, and the eventual coming of the white man and their put into reservations. It's very touching and somber, but enlightening as well. The Utes roamed, loved, hunted and camped nearly all the Rocky Mountains we play in now. Do yourself a favor and see the history that was here before many of us came, and still lives on to this day!

The main building is set up like a small town consisting of salon, drug store, dental office and more. Filled with authentic items. Then you walk outside to the outdoor town. Homes from many different years, school house, hotel, sheriffs office and many more. The kids will love it! So many items I'm sure they have never seen before. Such a wonderful educational experience. They do offer tours but not on the day we were there. The kind lady in the office said please come back to her if we had any questions. This is a must visit!

Unbelievably authentic 19th and early 20th century, wild west museum located in Montrose, Colorado…read more This museum is reconstructed as a full historical village Comprising not only actual building structures of multiple Hotels, Saloons, residences, General Store, Medical, Dental, Pharmacy, Blacksmiths, Sheriff's office/Jail, and livery among 26+ structures in total. Additionally, one will not be dissapointed as each building interior is fully furnished with thousands of time period artifacts, furniture, fixtures and supplies. I was amazed to view actual US currency as well as guns and rifles each worth in the thousands. This Colorado Museum is maintained by a non-profit entity, has a reasonable admission fee and is ranked as a top 10 State museum must see. Accordingly, when visiting the Black Mountain of the Gunnison National Park South Entrance make this an enjoyable and interesting stop afterwards.

So much lost potential!…read more This place used to be amazing... but now it seems to be as forgotten as the fossils it holds. The fun little attractions for the kids are broken or barely running. The sandbox barely had sand to do anything with, the shaky earthquake barely moves, the spray Dino was dead, the lights were kept on during the informational video. As well as the bathrooms being halfway closed down with stalls, sinks, and hand dryers out of order. And of course, who enjoys working in an environment like that? Not this staff. Amazing fossils of plants, animals, and insects still keep this place going. How unfortunate the beautiful history this place holds is hidden by rundown attractions as well as people.

It turns out they named the town Hotchkiss because everyone who used to live here was named Hotchkiss. The volunteers are extremely friendly and outgoing.
