    I stopped by the museum one lazy, summer Saturday. A look around the museum properties reveals local family history, town lore, and the hidden treasures of the land and those who settled it. For a small donation, guests learn about pioneers, miners, black gold, and dinosaur fossils. To better understand the region, pay a visit to this museum. See more..

    - Museum was very interesting
    Natural History Museums
    The museum was great. Everything was displayed very well and great information was documented. The building used to be a hospital. The rooms containing the old kitchen, old medical, surgical, and dental equipment were especially interesting, along with the jail cell and mining equipment and gems. I would definitely recommend going there if you are in Ouray. See more..
