Telluride Historical Museum

Daffodil Days has been postponed due to the extreme winter conditions Washington state (where we get our flowers) has been experiencing. We will still be hosting Daffodil Days and will announce the new dates once we get a final answer on when our flowers will be available for delivery.

Daffodil Days is a fundraiser benefiting both the Telluride Historical Museum and American Cancer Society that takes place every March. The Museum sells bundles of daffodils for $15 each. There are 10 blooms per bundle.

Telluride Historical Museum has paired with Mountain Trip, an outdoor guiding company founded in 1973, in what may seem like an unlikely partnership. The two have collaborated on an outing like no other. “Bill & Todd’s Excellent Ames Adventure” (named for Mountain Trip owners Bill Allen and Todd Rutledge) is a day trip to Ames on Saturday, February 9 that includes a tour of the historic Ames Power Plant followed by an intro to ice climbing class.

Hit the slopes with local storyteller Ashley Boling as he recounts Telluride’s past. The two hour tour across the Telluride Ski Resort will give a general overview of our region’s history from mining to skiing and will cover terrain that is mild to moderate.u turn!

The Telluride Historical Museum will re-open on Tuesday, Dec. 4 for the winter. A few artifacts have been rotated and the current annual exhibit “Children of Winter Never Grow Old: Snow Sports in the San Juans” is currently on display. Winter hours of Tuesday – Saturday 11:00 a.m.-5:00p.m. will continue throughout the season until April 7th.
