Donate by Visiting the Museum
Admission to the Kauffman House Museum is $5 per person (free for Members). Children 12 and under are admitted free.

Donate Artifacts
Donations of artifacts and personal photographs and papers will be reviewed by the board with our accession policy for acceptance. Because we have limited space, items should have some relevance to Grand Lake area history.

In 2007, the museum received the doll collection of Rosemary Kauffman Wilkin. A number of the dolls are displayed in the museum and others will be on display for special events. We have also received from the Collins family many items from Rosemary’s Grand Lake home.

The family of Paul Gilbert has donated a valuable collection of photographs and slides of the history of Grand County.
