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.

We feature the photographs by Enos A Mills taken circa 1900-1922. Historic, scenic, natural science, examples of popular scenes and previously unreleased reproductions of original photographs. A full selection of wonderful books by author Enos A. Mills including the previously unpublished volumes from our private archives handcrafted by Temporal Mechanical Press.

The museum is a small cabin, holding twelve people at the most. But your guide can come to you if you've got a large group! Please call for details and arrangements.
