Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum

The Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum is your home to a peak into the past of Crested Butte. The museum occupies one of the oldest buildings in Crested Butte. The building was originally a blacksmith shop in 1883, then it became the Crested Butte Hardware Store, referred to as Tony’s Conoco, and had the first retail gas pump in 1911. The building served as a local gathering spot for decades as old timers caught up, welcomed new comers and told stories around the pot belly coal stove. Crested Butte Hardware closed at Tony’s death in 1996 and reopened as the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum in July of 2003.
