GUNNISON PIONEER MUSEUM
Gunnison, Colorado
113 Chapel
Built in 1879, this is one of the original cabins constructed by Jack Howe to house the many miners and freighters who passed through the East River Valley as the mining rush began in earnest. Moved from “Jacks Cabin” in 1937, it has been a useful structure for more than a century. The cabin was a gas station until 1996 when it was moved to the Pioneer Museum. It is now furnished to resemble an early rural chapel.
