As one of the last traditional curio-style museums in Colorado, the White River Museum is filled with collections ranging from the 1880’s to the present. The museum features eleven rooms in two original log buildings from the 1880′s, which served as officer’s quarters for federal troops stationed in the White River Valley as a result of the 1879 Meeker Incident and the infamous Battle of Milk Creek. 
​These cabins and barracks would be the foundation for the Town of Meeker after U.S. troops were pulled from the area in 1883.
