Its collection holds more than 17,000 objects and 10,000 photographs about Longmont and the St. Vrain Valley, and it hosts traveling exhibitions and a hands-on children's gallery. A nearly $10 million expansion added 70% more gallery space, and regular hours resumed on October 17, 2026: Monday through Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 1pm to 5pm. Exhibition admission is $12 for adults and $8 for youth, and the second Saturday of each month is free.
