Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum

The mission of the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and educate the public about quilts; honor quilt making traditions; and embrace the evolution of the art and craft of quilting. When you visit the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, you will uncover the fibers and layers of the human experience through quilts. Explore the scope of quilting from bedcovering of the 1800 s to contemporary art pieces. The museum hosts quarterly exhibits, tailored tours, and programs for adults and youth. For the researcher and quilt enthusiast, the Sandra Dallas Library contains over 7500 volumes featuring out-of-print literature, technique resources, historic patterns and research documents. Eugenia Mitchell, an 80-year-old Golden resident of humble means, had a generous spirit and a passion for quilts. Her vision for a quilt museum was accomplished in 1990.
