Reviews of Museum of the Mountain Man (Museum)

Shari Elliott

A wonderful surprise, did not expect a museum of this quality in such a small community. I love history and was pleasantly surprised, will go again when I am in the area.

Terry Pearson

This place is full of American History about how the people lived and survived in the early years. They had to endure a lot that we don't have to today.

Georgian Hock

We enjoyed wandering through this museum on our visit. We learned so much about the mountain man's way of life, the Attack of Hugh Glass and the surrounding area. I would recommend stopping if you have a couple hours to wander.

Great little museum. A must stop in Pinedale

Ace Ablaze

Friendly staff and an excellent display of American culture await the hungry explorer to this location. If you happen to pass by or are simply in the area, I strongly recommend to give this place a viewing.

Nicole Work

Super unique it's fun and interesting. They give children scavenger hunt maps so they don't get to bored. It's cool especially if you're from the Rockies. I would recommend, pindale is quite small so this is something interesting to do.

2nd visit my husband loves to co.e

Kate DeWalt

Have visited this museum every other year over the past 25. It's always been a treasure with their intricate displays, especially these past 6 with the recent discovery of ancient dwellings/burials. For those just "passing through" on their way to Jackson Hole it can be a great rest stop and is just a few minutes away from Fremont Lake. Great way to stretch your mind and your legs while taking in some beautiful scenery.

Judy Burford

A true gem of a museum. Not big, but chock full of all sorts of interesting exhibits and information.

Hal Erickson

_Exceptionally_ well done for a special-topic museum, laid out in a quasi-chronological narrative. Those who aren't experts in the Fur Trade Era really should watch the ~20-minute video before engaging the collection. That will help a visitor to appreciate the quality of the collections and the attention to detail in the exhibits. (One quibble: The Admissions desk will suggest watching the video orientation first. It is sufficiently well done that it is worth watching as designed, from beginning to end. But at least as of my most recent visit in Aug 2017 there was no way to know when the video was beginning, other than asking at the Admissions desk. Video could be digitized and played from a computer starting at 00, 20 and 40 minutes after the hour.)

Steven Bell

Well done and interesting to see.

My 2nd trip to this small and wonderful museum. Staff went out of their way to answer questions and make us feel welcome. I really loved seeing their enthusiasm about the exhibits. I would love access to their library, but understand why it is restricted. Hope I win tje quilt for their raffle in November. If you haven't done so, posting pics of it on your website.

Tom Perry

Very interesting and people are very nice

J. Smith

A WONDERFUL MUSEUM to spend enjoyable hours in. If I make it back to the area, I WILL ENJOY IT AGAIN!

Phillip Hoggan

We really enjoyed the exhibits and artifacts displayed . Educational and entertaining. Update 7/31/2018 We were traveling through this area again and decided to stop in for another visit. We were rewarded again as displays had been added to and rearranged. Two of our grandchildren (ages 2 and 5) were with us and were entertained as well. There was even an area for them to dress up, sit on saddles and have their picture taken.

Ray Wenner

I enjoy going up to the museum it has all the history of the mountain men that came out in this area it's been a long time since I've been there before and I Joy the newer stuff that they put in a museum the new attractions and how they raise their money for when they have the school children up there.

Loved it. So much to learn here.

Cynthia Adams

Fascinating museum covering a wide array of subjects pertaining to the mountain man era. Great firearms displays, friendly staff, and interesting video. We had less than an hour to visit so only saw a part of the exhibits. I recommend allowing two hours for your visit, especially if you don't have small children with you. Nice gift shop, too. I was able to get an extraordinary deal on a turquoise and old silver bracelet. The local history exhibit was also worth seeing.
