I liked this very much. Very informative and interesting.

It was such an exhilarating experience, so tranquil with the native flute music playing overhead. It was very informative and I FELT SO CLOSE TO MY ROOTS AND AT PEACE HERE. IT WAS GREAT FOR THE SOUL ♡♡Thank you to everyone who had a hand in putting this museum together it is very well done!!!!

Wow! What a history lesson!!! This place is very interesting and educational all in one. Thanks to the wonderful staff for making us feel welcome and creating such an extraordinary exhibit for us to learn from. Go see it, you will not be disappointed.

Oldest inhabitants of the middle Colorado mountains and plains. The Ute indian history and handiwork were well described and exhibited. We spent about an hour watching a short video and after, reading and viewing the displays. We spent a half hour in the gift shop! The jewelry and bead work was eye-catching and fairly priced. I particularly looked at the books on folklore, stories and legends. I would recommend a visit.

A gem of a museum. This museum was recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. Excellent text and a film described the history of the Ute. I particularly was interested to see an example of a resin coated basket. They have some beautiful clothing on display. There is also an excellent gift store

Was a nice museum the outdoor walk by the river was beautiful. My kids loved going in and out of all the tepees.

Very lovely museum. We watched the 1/2 hour film first and learned a lot about the history of the Ute people. Our kids liked it; I would really recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

Lots of pictures. Lots of clothing. I sew and the workmanship was amazing! It gave a different viewpoint of the American Indian. I am almost ashamed how the Indians were treated! There was a tepee outside for kids and jewelry and clothing for sale inside. Jewelry was authentic. Nice outing!

Proud and knowledgable staff, good displays and stories, clean facilities, good wifi. The gift shop has amazing jewelry crafted by real and reputable tribe members.

Tells a good story of Ute indians.Small but well laid out displays. Good for kids to know the colorsdo history. Shop has good items.

We couldnt go through the museum because of limited amounts of people are allowed. Understandable but disappointing as we were looking forward to touring it. We were traveling so we couldnt wait to be in the next group.

Cool place to learn something new. Come on there are teepees setup outside

Beautiful inside and out...Friendly and great gift shop

Nice location and grounds. The museum and gift shop looked nice, new, and clean. The cost to get in is 6.00. Go and support this work.

A small well done museum. Good introductory film, wonderful gift shop.

Beautiful exhibits and building. Very educational.

Didnt get to watch the movies. Kind of wished there was a tour guide. For a museum it totally works. The art work was amazing!

Wonderful with lots of good displays.

The summer camp was fantastic! My kiddo loved it!

Excellent! Informative! Worth an hour all day!

The museum itself is a tidy setup with about the right amount of information. Its not so big with so much data as to make it daunting. By the time one reaches all the way around the not-too-big rooms, one gets a sense of understanding of the Ute tribe, its history, its place on the land, and the movement to and fro of its people. The garden, although spacious, could use some upkeep. Many of the benches and outdoor tables are badly in need of repair.

Really nice place. Very sad stories however

This is one of the finest Indian museum that I have visited. I bring bus loads of students here yearly and always love to see the exhibits. The people here are exceptionally friendly.

This was a great museum dedicated to some amazing people and their wonderful culture and craftsmanship.

Absolutely fantastic! All remodeled and beautiful. The exhibits were beautiful, educational and thought provoking. I really recommend watching the videos on the Ute culture.

The old items were special. Ute lands covered a lot of states.

The museum is very educational and interesting. The grounds are nice to walk and there is a great gift shop. You can also host events here. We had our wedding here and it was amazing! Everything you need in one place, beautiful setting and fantastic staff.

The entry fee was quite a bit for what you actually see. I took my 10 yr old nephew who was bored out of his mind. There really isnt a lot for kids to do. There items for sale were out of my price range for sure. I guess its a nice attempt at history, just dont expect a lot from it.

Beautiful Museum. I learned so much more about history of the valley in that small amount of time than I could have anywhere else. Ill be back.

A must see if you are in the area and have any desire to learn of the original inhabitants of Colorado. Surprised to find out this is actual a state run museum. Kudos to the state for their recognition of the native peoples. Friendly folks at the front register - ask about the military discount (free entry). Excellent displays and numerous artifacts on display. Educational, informative and at times disturbing, as any honest look at Native American history can be. Interesting grounds, including a boardwalk to the river across the street.

I cant give it any less than a perfect rating. So much time has been spent beautifying and instilling historical information into this quaint little Museum and rec. area. Its a tranquil spot that has The Great Spirit flowing through n through!

Beautiful new facility. We were there for a special event and were well taken care of.

Excellent exhibit of Native American Leaders Ouray & Chipeta and beautiful gift shop! Wonderful grounds ... very peaceful and wonderful people working there! A must stop when you have the time!!

This inside is a little smaller than i remember and you have to really read it. In order to enjoy the exhibits... they need more artifacts out less technology.... loved the music playing it sets the mood. And the bathrooms were clean. Plus the remodel is pretty great. I would like to see more things in the gardens. And perhaps. More anout the Utes and natives that lived in the region. It was an overall great experience the atmosphere was like being at the campfire ready for the elders to tell a story. Wish i could have spent all day!

Very nice since they have remodeled the building. Would recommend to anyone seeking a little culture in there life.

Wonderful dedication to the indigenous people of Montrose still makes me a little sad though awesome 4 teaching the kids

Learned a lot about the history of the Ute Indians! Must visit if passing through Montrose!

Fun going Into the teepees

Interesting place to visit and learning about the Utes....sad life

The Ute Indian museum is a great cultural center, learn about the native Indians who lived here. It also has a great park with pathways and a small lake nearby. It has a gift shop inside that has something of interest for anyone. Jewelry, books, blankets, art, musical instruments and much more. If you havent been to the newly remodeled facility I think youll enjoy the visit.

This place is beautiful. We went on the free day, but if we had paid it would have been with it. The staff are amazingly knowledgeable. Truly worth the experience

Everything is very well displayed. The sensitive items are behind glass so people wont touch them. That came in handy as we brought 22 kids to visit! We had scheduled a tour, but they forgot to out us on the list and didnt have anyone there to run it. We were bummed, but we made the most of it. Luckily our lead teacher remembered the sign language and was able to do that activity without their help.

Staff was very nice and helpful. Small museum but very well laid out and so much information. I learned so much and enjoyed all the visuals and videos they had. Great little gift shop if you want to buy something unique and special! Definitely recommend if you are close to Montrose.

This is one of the best Natove American museums Ive had the pleasure of visiting. Several touch screen monitors with short videos explaining different aspects of Ute culture, a 22 min movie to watch incredibly informative. The store has so much in such a small space. I cannot believe how the time got away from me. If you love museums and learning this is a must see!!

Free wifi and its good!

Today is a nice warm day Im happy to see some of our countrys past I hope you all have a good day if you can do what you need to call the fun little heart desires have a good day

Very neat museum. Some very beautiful pieces inside.

Entertaining, educational experience draws you closer to the heart of the people and places in Western Colorado.

Fantastic staff and museum.

Beautifully organized and informative. Nice bathrooms. Interesting gift shop.

The updates that this museum has done since I was a kid are amazing! I highly recommend visiting! Beautifully done!

Loved it. I got to learn so much!

Small but excellent museum of the Ute Indian people and there history, life style and results of attempting to deal with the US government of the time.

Cool place, wish we had more time to see it. We will make time to go back again.

This place is amazing! Tomorrow 4/20/19 an Earth Day event is going to be there! The museum is gorgeous, they have family activities, I will be going back again and again!

A must for learning the history of Western Colorado. Beautiful displays, pretty grounds and botanical gardens

Exhibit well done

Made us think. Extremely interesting. Very tasefully done.

Had a good time. Nice help.

Was very educational... and some good info on history.

Great, here you can know a lot about the culture of a place, its customs, how they thought the ancestors, I love it.

Great for history of the area. Wonderful artifacts.

Great place to visit while in Montrose. Toddlers love the tipis and the outdoor garden.

Excellent museum!

Kids had fun and learned great facts!

Engaging & informative. Rare to find a museum about native Americans designed and curated by native Americans.

First nations history

We were disappointed that they were closed for inventory in a very busy summer vacation week. Many people were turned away...It was unfortunate thay we couldnt experience it! Looked like it would have been nice...oh well!

They were GREAT! Even gave my nieces and I a special discount so we could afford to experience the property. Thank-you for your graciousness.

Had agreat time great place to visit and shop friendly staff

Beautiful museum, recently remodeled telling living Ute History. Well worth the visit.

Top notch. If you have any interest in the history of the area relative to Native Americans this is the place to go.

We are homeschoolers and have spent the last semester learning about Native Americans. A great experience, beautifully preserved relics, great interactive videos, a wonderful museum.

Kind people. Lots of things to look at, read, and learn. Some times events are held here in the room to the side. Theres a small parking lot in front of the building and another small parking lot across the street in front of the building. Its friendly and accessible to all people.

I koved it. So much to see. Very educational. Its a must see.

It was very informative about the Ute tribe. The beautiful jewelry, the artistic beading was awesome, the people were very nice. It was very clean. I would recommend visitors to stop by.

Ok

Lovely escape from Downtown

This place is really interesting. I learned a lot about the people before us who lived here. I recommend this for a visit.

A little gem of a museum, just a glimpse into the culture and lifestyle of the original inhabitants of the area. Highly recommended

Ya learn a lot that you dont learn in school about the real history of America.

Quality museum. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. We definitely want to return some day when we have more time.

It was so fascinating and rich is descriptive history.

My wife and I were so impressed and moved by the museum. The new building is amazing, a beautiful structure. The exhibits were moving and very informative. Great place to be; Id suggest about 90 minutes to experience it.

Excellent collection and great books in the store. Worth stopping at and remembering the Ute Natives.

Took a class to make dream catchers with my mom. Lots of fun!

Lovely small museum with well done personal stories. The videos are a great way to hear about Ute history and life from those who lived it. The gift shop has some nice pieces for anyone interested in Native American history.

Their recent renovation makes it a great place to learn about how the It nation lived in this area.

Beautiful artifacts and regalia, friendly helpful staff!

I would really recommend going here because it teaches you a little history and it has nice shaded areas where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. It is a great place to stop and walk around on a road trip, especially if you need to stretch your legs.

Amazing artifacts and information of the late ancestors and dwellers of this beautiful area!

They have a petroglyph tour. Well worth it!
