- Museum History
-
In 1962, the National Park Service razed Stead’s Ranch, an 1876 homestead and guest ranch in Rocky Mountain National Park. Concerned citizens organized to preserve artifacts from the ranch, and then extended their vision to the Estes Valley, creating the basis for the Estes Park Museum.
Operating as a municipal museum since 1992, the original non-profit reestablished itself to become the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. to support the mission of the Museum.
