Museum of Northwest Colorado

The museum offered myself and my family a brief summary of the Northwest Colorado history.This Town has an amazing town spirit, their culture is warm, humble, and accepting.Town community shows strong unity and pride by their history shown in dispaly at the museum.

So friendly staff. This place was awesome to visit. Neat collections. The spurs were something very interesting I did not expect to find fascinating.

This is our 2nd time visiting while traveling through this area. It's a wonderful little museum! Lots of historical items & information about Old West gun fighters, outlaws & cowboys! On display is Buffalo Bill's beautifully engraved saddle. Interesting info on Isam Dart, Tom Horn, Ann Bassett - Queen of the cattle Rustlers. Hundreds of Winchesters, colts, spurs, chaps. They also have on display the world's largest watercolor by local western artist Israel Holloway. Best of all it's free admission!

Great spot to learn some history about this great state. Really enjoyed the exhibits and came away knowing more about life in northern Colorado at the turn of last century. Thanks for hosting.

This is a must see hidden gem in Craig Co A wealth of guns,saddles holsters and pictures from the mid-late 1800s. Please leave a donation, they do not charge admission.

What a great museum! Fun for adults and kids alike. The world's largest watercolor painting is incredible! You've gotta put this on your list of "go-to's".

We travel around the country. And one of the things we like to do is visit small museums. This one was worth the visit. Small but packed with great stuff. Gun, saddles, cowboys and villains, stories, and the Moffat Road. Don't miss the downstairs high school graduation pictures exhibit. What a hoot. The staff is very helpful.

This museum is phenomenal! A must see. So much history and the exhibits were so informative and well taken care of. If you're a fan of old Western Heritage you must stop by this Museum it'll be worth the time.

Haunted .. went upstairs touched a antique saddle and got a weird vibe on it as a vibe went up my arm. Only let my wife know after tour. But great museum with cool stuff inside..

What a wonderful Colorado gem! This museum houses some amazing treasures that are part of Colorado history. It was fun seeing so many wonderfully preserved relics and learning the history of this area. Cattle rustling was a big problem back in the day! This museum is well worth the drive from Steamboat and honestly, I'd recommend making a trip of it from anywhere!

Super impressive collection and very knowledgeable staff. After growing up in Craig, I frequently visited for school field trips. Now, as a second grade teacher, I love using the website as a resource and have made phone calls to ask questions about our town's history. Recently, I called needing information about a particular photograph that I had. After a vague description, the staff member was able to name the picture and gave me a date and lots of information about it! Don't pass up this gem of a museum.

We stumbled on this, and it was the highlight of the day. Amazing stuff very well displayed, particularly the gunfighter's collection. Don't miss this one passing anywhere near here. Make your plans to spend at least 1 1/2 hours here. Unbelievable hidden gem. Staff is extremely friendly.

Well worth the drive if you are visiting Steamboat. Fascinating gem of a museum with very knowledgeable staff. We particularly enjoyed the "Bad Bob" Meldrum exhibit and stories, especially after having been in Telluride at the site of the Tomboy mine and learning of his connections there. The museum has a stunning collection of spurs, guns, and saddles. DO ask the staff questions, we learned so much! The museum is free, so make a donation and buy something at the store.

Nice little museum gives a glimpse into the history of the craig area. Admission is free, so please leave a donation to help this volunteer-led museum stay open. The volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly.
