Aspen Historical Society — Attraction in Aspen

This is a cool historical building. Currently it is home to the Aspen Historical Society and it's museum. The museum changes once in a while and is always very interesting. The museum is very small but always worth visiting. The museum is free and has a few bits of merchandise to purchase. The house the museum is in is not much different from when it was first built. The home has a long history dating back to the 19th century.
