Edwin Carter Museum: 150th Birthday Celebration

This summer, we’re celebrating 150 years at the Edwin Carter Museum! Originally opened in 1875, the Edwin Carter Museum tells the story of its first proprietor and the wildlife collection he created. 

Celebrate this long-standing legacy with us during a weekend full of events! On Aug. 22, from 5-7 pm, Ute tribal member Skyler Lomahaftewa and Aspen Historical Society will give a talk all about Ute history in the mountains. Co-sponsored with the Friends of the Dillon Ranger District, this event will highlight the Ute people, the first inhabitants of this area. 

Then, on Aug. 24, from 1-3 pm, come out to the lawn for a Museum Birthday Party complete with cupcakes from Hotel Alpenrock and outdoor exhibits!
