We LOVE getting these five-star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Google, like we did yesterday from Michelle!

"Spent two hours in this wonderful museum and could have stayed much longer if time had allowed. The exhibits are well designed with excellent interpretive panels that tell the story of Steamboat Springs. The interactive exhibits for children are equally engaging for adults. This museum is an absolute gem. I’ll be back on my next trip to Steamboat."

We are all on Native land.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Steamboat Springs History Museum honors the Indigenous peoples who have called this land home since time immemorial.

The Yampa Valley is part of the ancestral homelands of the Ute people, whose history, culture, and enduring connections to this land remain essential to understanding our region's heritage.

Today, we celebrate Indigenous history, resilience, living cultures, and the important contributions of Native peoples—past, present, and future.

We invite you to explore our Indigenous art and cultural exhibits and learn more about the diverse Native peoples whose stories are part of our shared history.
