- Eagle County Historical Museum
- The Eagle County Historical Museum at its present location at Chambers Park in Eagle, Colorado. The Chambers horse barn was originally located at the site of the present I-70 interchange on the Chambers Ranch. It was moved to temporary storage in 1981, while the Eagle County Historical Society raised funds for a foundation to be built. It was seated on the foundation in 1984 and opened to the public as a local history museum in 1991. The historic farm house used as the Information Center was donated by Bob Mayne. It was moved from Gypsum to the County Fairgrounds for storage in 1988 while a foundation was built next to the Chambers barn. It was put in place in 1989, undergoing extensive restoration. The Grand opening for the Eagle Valley Regional Visitor Information Center and the Chambers barn museum was held June 19, 1991. The project was ultimately supported by many entities: Town of Eagle, Eagle County, Eagle Valley Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Vail Valley Foundation, State of Colorado, the Eagle County Historical Society, and a State of Colorado Energy Impact Assistance grant, not to mention hours of private citizen volunteer time and contributions.
