Yurt History Luncheon: Slate River Mining History

Who says history has to be served in a dusty old classroom?

Strap on your skis and head to the beautiful Magic Meadows Yurt for a delicious lunch with a hearty helping of Gunnison Valley history!

Join the Crested Butte Museum for a fascinating look at the Slate River Valley’s mining past, when hardy prospectors, ambitious miners, and dreams of striking it rich brought a whole different kind of adventure to these mountains.

Discover the stories of the people who worked this rugged landscape, the mining operations that helped shape the valley, and the colorful history hiding beneath today’s peaceful winter scenery. With good food, mountain views, and tales from the valley’s wild mining days, it’s a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and local history.

This is a ticketed event, and a CB Nordic Pass is required.
