Wheeler-Stallard Museum
The Wheeler/Stallard Museum is a Queen Anne-style, Victorian mansion built around 1888 by Jerome B. Wheeler, located in Aspen’s charming West End, and home to the Aspen Historical Society. While the main floor is the re-creation of a late 1800s parlor – where people are encouraged to gather and sit – the second floor hosts rotating exhibits. In the summer, the surrounding park and gardens are used for public programs and special events.

Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Center
The October 2010 discovery of Ice Age fossils near Snowmass Village Colorado was a stroke of good fortune.  Ziegler Reservoir was planned to preserve Snowmass Creek while providing Snowmass Village with critically needed water.  As the reservoir project began a watchful bulldozer driver turned up giant rib bones, a tusk, and an eight-inch tooth from a long extinct Columbian Mammoth.

The discovery became the most important fossil discovery in the 110 year history of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

The museum, located in the Snowmass Village Mall, has great information about this fantastic discovery.
