Aspen Historical Society (AHS) actively preserves and passionately presents local history in an inspired and provocative manner that will continue to anchor the local community and its evolving character. AHS maintains one of the largest public archives in the region, with a portion of its collection available online as a free resource. AHS operates four historical sites: the Wheeler/Stallard Museum, the Holden/Marolt Mining & Ranching Museum, and the ghost towns of Independence and Ashcroft. AHS provides free history education for local schools, including field programs at the historical sites and in-classroom lessons. Locals and visitors of all ages are invited to explore the history of the upper Roaring Fork Valley with guided tours, programs, and community events offered year-round. Tours (both walking and in the AHS electric vehicle) include the historical downtown core and Aspen’s Victorian West End neighborhood, historical buildings the Hotel Jerome and Wheeler Opera House, and storied sites around the area such as Red Butte Cemetery, rail corridors, and more.

The Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) is a forerunner in the placement of site-specific sculpture in Colorado. MOA specializes in creating environments that promote a range of sculpture, as well as performance art. Our art collection is located within various public locations throughout the Denver metro area. From commercial office parks to botanic gardens, city parks and traditional sculpture gardens; art is placed to interpret space as "a museum without walls." Employing a combination of art, architecture, and landscape, MOA is best known for integrating these disciplines in order to create exemplary environments. Foremost, the Museum of Outdoor Arts believes in 'making art a part of everyday life' by integrating the arts into public spaces accessible by all. MOA is headquartered at Marjorie Park / Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre where it hosts a range of seasonal art events, programs and art installations. The park is also available to rent for private events.
