Another must-do in Crested Butte. The CB Heritage Museum has so much to see and offers so much to learn about the Crested Butte History including skiing, mining and mountain biking. Kids really love the old train set which runs through a replica of town.

This museum is housed in an old building that served for years as the town's hardware store and only gas station. Although Crested Butte has grown a lot since those days, it retains much of that mining town charm. This museum is part of that charm.
