The Tread of Pioneers Museum

Very kind front desk attendant, and relatively empty so it was very quiet. Had lots of history including ski history, a (temporary I think) native American art exhibit, and the Victorian section which was my favorite. Masks not required if you are vaccinated.

This was my 2nd visit and I brought friends and family. I like it, it is $6 for non residents. I think it is worth it. They do make you wear masks.

If you like history, then this is a must stop. It won't take you long to go through. It cost me $6. For its size, it was packed full of wonderful information, maps, pictures, and artifacts. You will get a great perspective of how this past of the country came to be. If you go on a Thursday you can meet Suzanne... what a delightful person to have as the person who introduced us to the museum...Don't miss this!

Learned a lot. Will definitely visit again.

I have worked here for a few years, I love everything about it!

We came for the unique history but we stayed for the antique hair wreaths. Really interesting background about the valley and resort. And upstairs you can listen to one of the Powder River Gang members chat about how he doesn't like to be touched. I get it. I mean, ask first if you can cop a touch, right? Overall a great place that the community rightly and proudly supports.

Very interesting. Has history of early settlers. Ski history. I always enjoy old photos from 1900's. We spent an hour or so. Be sure to.go upstairs, rifles and an amazing bear trap. Early kitchen stove was something!

Probably the best $10 bucks we spent on Steamboat. It was very informative, giving an excellent overview of area history.

I thought they have done a wonderful job of displaying and sharing the local history and the life of early settlers. There is a little room for kids to explore hands on and my young children loved it. The museum was tough but enjoyable with my almost 3 year old, but not great for younger kids. We were glad we went.

This museum is sensational and the young woman acting as museum guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly and very eager to share her knowledge which added greatly to the experience of myself and family as visitors to the museum. There is no better way for a visitor to Steamboat Springs to spend a morning or afternoon (or both) than to pay this museum a visit. The children's room exhibits were particularly good, with hands-on opportunity to play with exhibits and really experience the life of a child in the olden days. My 5 year old daughter absolutely loved it. Adults will be entertained, enthralled and fascinated by all the museum has to offer. Whatever brings you to Steamboat Springs, make sure you make time to visit this museum. I also add that the restrooms were possibly the cleanest in North America!

My wife and I certainly enjoyed the experience. Steamboat Springs settlers history as well as some great skiing history made it a fun afternoon. Loved the tour of the past, the Victorian home and a glimpse of their lifestyle back in the day.

Our family attended some tours last 2 summers. Programs are excellent, great content and well paced. And most tours are free!!! There is something every day in the summer. We highly recommend!

I had such a nice time learning about the history of Steamboat Springs in this quaint, little museum!

As an Am. History buff, this museum had a lot to interest me. Good layout to move visitors around so nothing was missed. Reasonable entry fee, friendly staff. If I ever get back to Colorado, I'll go again!

Are you a Western movies or TV show (Think Little House or Dr. Quinn) fan? Do your kids enjoy historical fiction-- like the American Girls Collection-- Josefina, Kaya, or Kirsten books? You owe it to yourself to go see this collection and restored home as a Western museum.

This restored Victorian house with other house attached had lots of rooms with artifacts, furniture, photos, letters, and accounts of people who were instrumental in founding and making Steamboat Springs, in addition to the story that fits with so many Native Utes, Pioneers, Homesteaders, Early Settlers, to Ranchers, Cowboys, Outlaws and Lawpeople, and WWII era skiier veterans. It wasn't overwhelming-- but seemed very factual and enlightening.

There were labels placing everything in its proper time period and acknowledging who donated the items to the museum. The curator/docent was friendly and helpful, offering basic directions around the museum and giving a brochure. She answered any questions we had about any of the people or things.

There's also a children's section with dress-up items, games, and items to touch.I enjoyed seeing the personal items and history with particular brave women and families who changed their lives to help make this city.

Lots of skis and ski information-- can be fascinating stuff. There was also a room with photos of places that have been demolished or destroyed with age-- a nice touch to be able to get a sense of how we are all part of changing time. The gift shop had nice holiday things (it is close to Christmas!) plus books-- some that aren't typically in print, post cards, toys, and jewelry. Just a delightful hour and a half of our trip!

Small museum with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Check out the tour and talk schedules and keep the special events in mind. Easy access and convenient to lots of great lunch places downtown.

After living in steamboat for eight years I saw this place and it is really interesting. A lot of information in one small place I highly recommended it for locals and visitors.

The staff here is amazing and helped us track down someone we were searching for who lived in Steamboat Springs 100 years ago.

Neat house lots of smalls take your time and really look at the home it's self you can see the wear and lived in look from many years of use. Lots of stories about the locals
