The Estes Park Museum is open year-round and offers free admission. Nestled at the foot of iconic Longs Peak, Estes Park's story of Native American tribes, homesteaders, entrepreneurs, and artists is unique to Colorado. With the formation of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915 and the incorporation of the Town in 1917, Estes Park hosted a number of notable individuals such as Isabella Bird, Enos Mills, Eleanor Hondius, and F.O. Stanley. Often remarked as a "paradise" by visitors, Estes Park experiences its own trials of floods and fires, lending to a strong sense of community by those who live here. Through interactive displays and in-depth exhibits, explore the place many have come to love.

The Museum's mission is to preserve, share, and respect the unique history of Estes Park. Founded in response to the preservation of artifacts from Stead's Ranch in 1962, the museum has operated as a municipal museum since 1992.
