The Museum has educational displays featuring artifacts, photographs, antiques and collectibles portraying early ranch and farm life. It features exhibits of Native American artifacts, Hispanic settlers, the Japanese-American community, Adams State University, military regalia and early railroading. We host various annual events and exhibits such as the Artist of the Month and First Fridays feature events that showcase artwork, history, and cultural heritage from across the valley.
Museum displays show what an early mercantile or general store was like, along with a model United States Post Office of years past, adjacent to a typical country grade school classroom designed around a valley town called Wayside, Colorado on the Maddox Ranch.
While in town stop by and see Engine No. 169 (by the public library), the Alamosa Welcome Center and the Rio Grande Scenic Railway.
