The Carbon County Museum collects, conserves, interprets and disseminates regional history to inspire Carbon County cultural entities and all learners – today and tomorrow. The CCM has several exhibits and displays that celebrate the history and culture of the communities and natural habitat of this county. These topics include, among others, our Native American past, the role of the settlers as they came West, and the various technologies used in order to adapt to a harsh environment upon arrival. We also have on display one of the country’s largest exhibits devoted to the Union Pacific Railroad, which has been instrumental in the social and economic development of much of this region for over 150 years.The Carbon County Museum collects, conserves, interprets and disseminates regional history to inspire Carbon County cultural entities and all learners – today and tomorrow.
