Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MUSEUM'S MISSION IS TO COLLECT, PRESERVE, RESEARCH, AND INTERPRET THE HISTORY OF VICTOR AND THE COMMUNITIES OF THE CRIPPLE CREEK MINING DISTRICT FOR THE EDUCATION AND ENJOYMENT OF THE CITIZENS OF VICTOR, THE RESIDENTS OF TELLER COUNTY, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WE CURRENTLY SERVE OVER 10,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY.
DURING 2020, WE BEGAN THE ARCHIVE ROOM PROJECT IN THE BASEMENT. WE POURED THE CONCRETE FLOOR AND WORKED ON THE PLANS FOR THE TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED CLIMATE ROOM. WE ARE NOW ABLE TO START THE EXTENSIVE ELECTRICAL THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL. AFTER THE ELECTRICAL, WE WILL THEN BUILD THE WALL PARTITIONS. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON OUR CAPITAL PLAN TO RAISE MONIES FOR FURTHER RENOVATION THROUGH GRANT WRITING. AS PART OF THE MUSEUM MISSION, WE OFFER GOLD PANNING AS A LESSON TO ALL AGES IN THE HISTORIC METHOD OF MINING. THE PROGRAM IS PART OF AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. WE ALSO OFFER TOURS OF SUNNYSIDE CEMETARY TO PROVIDE HISTORICAL CONTEXT ABOUT THE PIONEERS WHO SETTLED THE AREA, AND THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF LIFE IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE GOLD RUSH. THE MUSEUM ALSO OFFERS A VARIETY OF HISTORICAL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WHICH ENHANCE OUR EDUCATIONAL MISSION, ALONG WITH SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOURS. WE ALSO COOPERATE WITH OTHER NON-PROFITS SUCH AS THE SOUTHERN TELLER COUNTY FOCUS GROUP AND THE CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT MUSEUM. DURING 2020, MUCH OF OUR IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING WAS CURTAILED DUE TO COVID. WE FULLY EXPECT THE PROGRAMS TO RESUME, ONCE COVID RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED.
