The Ouray County Historical Museum is housed in the original St. Joseph's Miner's Hospital built in 1887. The museum's more than 40 exhibits and 30 rooms include a world class mineral and gem collection, simulated underground mine, mining era hospital suite, Native American room, narrow gauge railroad history, special rotating exhibits, outdoor exhibits, and much, much more!
