Volunteer James King of Precision Painting is working on repainting the front doors and giving a fresh look to the museum for the beginning of the busy season. Precision Painting has donated the materials for this much-needed project.

Museum staff and volunteers held a small gathering for long-time volunteer Courtney Cannon to celebrate her high school graduation. Courtney has worked with Curator of Collections Jan Postler since she was twelve years old! Congratulations Courtney and thank you for all you do!

A curious visitor dropped by the Joy Cabin this morning.

It's springtime! Volunteer Roger Wolf waters the museum's gardens on this warm May morning.

It was School Days Fun Day at the museum! Families came in to try their hand at marbles and jacks, meet the teacher, and handmake a mini-chalkboard.

Keeping Traditions Alive

The Wild Wooly Spinners of the West, a hand-spinning guild that draws spinners from all over the Four Corners area, met at the Animas Museum on Saturday for a fun day of spinning. If you would like to learn about the history of spinning, how textiles are made, or even try your hand on a drop spindle, drop by the Museum on Saturday, February 26th between 10 am and 2pm.
