Historic Photography Series – Walking Tour
Step into the past with a guided walking tour through Crested Butte’s historic downtown, highlighting archival photographs of familiar locations. Participants will see side-by-side comparisons of “then and now” from the museum’s collections while learning about the photographic methods used to capture early life in the valley. Please wear good walking shoes, if time allows we will continue up to the bench from Elk Avenue. Also be sure to bring drinking water and be prepaired for summer weather at 9,000ft. Feel free to bring your own camera. Tickets for members are $30 each and $35 for non-members.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
