Exciting Renovations Underway at the Museum of the West!

The Museum of the West is undergoing a significant transformation to enhance your museum experience. We are committed to preserving and sharing the rich history of the Western Slope, and these renovations will ensure the museum remains a vibrant and engaging destination for years to come.

Current exhibits on display for you to learn the history of Mesa County, Colorado:

Experience western history at its best through thousand years of history. “Fly” a 1958 Cessna from Walker Field or gaze upon an ancient cup and ladle from the Anasazi. Study Ute and Fremont Art, see the real firearms that outlaws used, sit in a one-room schoolhouse, and visit the Pastime saloon – all at the Museum of the West!

The Sterling T. Smith Education Tower

The Sterling T. Smith Education Tower offers a 360° view of our impressive surrounding geography. Tower top displays provide information on downtown historic preservation efforts, regional archaeology, and geology.
