This two-story building was originally the Western Motel’s restaurant,
located west of the museum. Restoration of the building was completed
in 1997. This building contains exhibits such as dolls, musical
instruments, pewter and silverware, photography equipment and
photos, paintings, arrowhead and Native American artifacts, and an
extensive gun collection.
La Veta Hotel memorabilia is located
behind the front desk. More pictures of
the once grand hotel are hanging on the
north wall of the main floor. The large
Pioneer Museum sign at the east end of the property, just off Highway
50, is constructed from support beams from the outdoor columns of the
La Veta Hotel.

This display building houses clothing, hats and shoes. It also includes a
Campfire Girls ceremonial dress.

This building was Colin Moore’s Plumbing Supply Storeroom. Colin
Moore worked at the Aberdeen Granite Quarry and the Denver South
Park & Pacific Railroad. The cabin is approximately 100 years old.
Originally located at 210 South Taylor Street in Gunnison (“210” is still
on the building), it was moved to the Moore land west of Gunnison.
Tom Redden donated the cabin to the Pioneer Museum in 2003.
The building contains an eclectic blend of memorabilia including radios, sewing machines,
artist supplies, military posters, salt and pepper shakers, an old washing machine and a
clock from the Miller Furniture Store from the late 1920s.
