Telluride Historical Museum Established in 1966 as the San Miguel County Historical Society, the Telluride Historical Museum provides an educational experience while preserving its region’s history. The museum has operated for more than 40 years within one of Telluride’s first public buildings, the 1896 historic landmark Telluride Old Miner’s Hospital Building. The hospital closed in 1964 and the San Miguel Historical Society reopened the building two years later as a museum. In 1994, the Museum was devastated to learn the building’s exterior masonry was on the verge of collapse. In 1995, a five-foot section of the exterior masonry fell away and the Museum was immediately closed to the public. In an overwhelming demonstration of local support, the Town of Telluride voters elected to fund 80% of stabilization costs to restore the old building.
