Mission: To preserve, share and celebrate the history and heritage of Steamboat Springs and Routt County through quality and engaging exhibits, programs and education.
Vision: The Tread of Pioneers Museum is an indispensable cultural asset and historical leader that engages and educates the public and fosters an appreciation of our community's history.
The newly expanded and renovated Tread of Pioneers Museum offers something for everyone. The heart of the museum is a 1908 Queen Anne-style Victorian home with turn-of-the-century furnishings. Engaging and interactive exhibits feature the local and regional history of Native Americans, skiing, agriculture, mining, pioneer settlement, town development, and more. Special museum features include computer and video interactive exhibits, hands-on exhibits for kids, an oral history library, a local history research center, and an online historic photograph collection. The museum now serves over 14,000 people, including 3,000 children, and offers over 200 educational programs, events, and tours each year.
