The Leadville Heritage Museum and Gallery is one of Leadville's premiere historic museums, owned and operated by the nonprofit Lake County Civic Center Association. The museum, which is open daily to the public between May and October during the morning and afternoon hours, is housed within the city's historic 1904 library building, which was originally funded by Andrew Carnegie. Since 1971, the Association has maintained the facility as a public museum and heritage center, showcasing collections of artifacts from Leadville's 19th and 20th century civic history. Artifacts on display include a scale replica of the 1896 Leadville Ice Palace, along with uniforms and memorabilia connected to the region's famed 10th Mountain Division.
