GUNNISON PIONEER MUSEUM
Gunnison, Colorado
Gunnison Pioneer Museum Main Entrance
This two-story building was originally the Western Motel’s restaurant, located west of the museum. Restoration of the building was completed in 1997. This building contains exhibits such as dolls, musical instruments, pewter and silverware, photography equipment and photos, paintings, arrowhead and Native American artifacts, and an extensive gun collection.
La Veta Hotel memorabilia is located behind the front desk. More pictures of the once grand hotel are hanging on the north wall of the main floor. The large Pioneer Museum sign at the east end of the property, just off Highway 50, is constructed from support beams from the outdoor columns of the La Veta Hotel.
