Wheeler/Stallard Museum | Decade by Decade: Aspen Revealed

The museum will be closed November 17th through December 2nd, 2024. We look forward to hosting you this winter!

The Wheeler/Stallard house is a Queen Anne style Victorian built around 1887/1888. The first floor of the Museum is interpreted as a Victorian Aspen home and the second floor gallery features rotating exhibitions to explore area history. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the grounds comprise the Ruth Whyte Park.

Currently on display, the history exhibition Decade by Decade: Aspen Revealed offers a comprehensive view of the area’s fascinating past; from mining boom to dilapidated ranching town to today’s international recreational and cultural resort, Aspen forged a unique path. Featuring photographs and artifacts that represent Aspen’s connection to national events and trends, the exhibition reflects on the community’s place within the larger historical landscape of the nation – sometimes congruent, sometimes divergent – but always exciting. Decade by Decade: Aspen Revealed appeals to visitors and locals of all ages, showcasing the depth of the AHS Collection.
