Grand Lake Area Historical Society was formed in 1973 to preserve
and protect the only remaining log hotel built in Grand Lake prior to 1900.
This nonprofit organization maintains the Kauffman House Museum --
built in 1892 and operated as a hotel until 1946 by the Kauffman family.
A gallery was added in 1990 to house additional exhibits.
In 2009 the Historical Society purchased land and moved the Smith-Eslick Motor Court.
Fund raising is underway to renovate the motor court
and interpret the early auto tourist industry in Grand Lake.

The museum is open daily from Memorial Day through August 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, Saturdays in September and on special occasions throughout the year. Volunteers are docents at the museum and will share the area history and information
about our collection. |
