History Buff Day
July 16 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Free for Members
Join the membership team and the Ute Indian Museum in-person for our first History Buff Day of the year! Use your free membership to discover and learn about the Ute culture. Hang with Billy the History Buff, play inside a teepee, learn about the important Bear Dance, and explore the new Naturescape playground which will include simulated habitats from the animal world.
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!
