THE TRAILHEAD CHILDREN'S MUSEUM GRAND REOPENING

We are working hard to reopen the Museum!

Read the latest updates, get a sneak peek of exhibits, and keep up with our reopening journey on the Trailhead’s blog.

What’s Happening?

We are excited to bring back a community space for families to gather and explore, create, and play together. The Trailhead will reopen at our new home, the old Center for the Arts building at 606 Sixth Street in Crested Butte, CO.

Due to unforeseen delays in making necessary safety updates to the building, our timeline has been pushed back temporarily. We are currently dependent on supply chains to deliver required parts for the building updates, and once we have all of the pieces in place, we will announce an official opening date.

The Museum Floor is currently closed. We will share our official reopening timeline as soon as possible.

This reopening is made possible by partnerships with the Crested Butte Center For the Arts (CFTA) and the CFTA Preferred Partners Program, the Crested Butte Arts Festival, I.D. Sculpture, Mountain Colors, and our Trailhead families and friends.

What will be in the new museum?

The new Trailhead Children’s Museum will feature our signature Art Bar, an indoor play and climbing structure, dramatic play, loose-parts play, and STEM exploration; among other rotating exhibits. The Trailhead will also include an art studio classroom, that will allow the Trailhead to enrich and expand our arts and play programming.
