MUSEUM

A short nature trail noting native flora leads you to the original homestead cabin built by 15-year-old Kansan Enos A. Mills in 1885, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as the home of the "Father of Rocky Mountain National Park".

Photos, letters and exhibits illustrate the life and achievements of this rare spirit who was Colorado Snow Observer, miner, inn-keeper, speaker, author, nature guide, and dynamic in the formation of the National Park Service and the craft of Interpretive Naturalists.

It is the location where Enos wrote many of his stories and the setting of several of his experiences.
