About Experience one of the most complete collections of Ute Indian artifacts in the nation. Story Come celebrate the history and the living culture of Colorado’s longest continuous residents at the Ute Indian Museum in Montrose, Colorado. The Museum welcomes visitors with a stunning new building and exhibition connecting the past with the contemporary Ute life and culture. New exhibitions focus on the Ute peoples’ history of adaptation and persistence, and unfold around a central theme of geography, highlighting significant locations in Ute history and Ute cultural survival, political self-determination, economic opportunity and the celebration of the Bear Dance. The Ute Indian Museum was originally built in 1956 near the ranch of Uncompahgre leader, Chief Ouray, and his wife Chipeta. The Museum and grounds are recognized as a State Historical Monument and are listed in the national register of historic places. The grounds include Chief Ouray Memorial Park, Chipeta’s grave, and a native plants garden. The complex also includes shady picnic areas, walking paths, a memorial to the Spanish conquistadors who traveled through the area in 1776 and a link to the citywide trail system. The new Museum features an expanded gift shop offering authentic Native American jewelry, pottery, children’s gifts and books and new community spaces for events and programs.
