A new piece of interesting information just arrived from Colorado. A new museum was opened in February this year- the first and only museum dedicated to mountaineering in US. The Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum is devoted to mountaineering, the mountains, science and art, and the dissemination of knowledge--all things that Bradford Washburn exemplified. His legacy lives on through these exhibits and artifacts. Exhibits on climate, science, cultures and the humanities as they relate to mountains promise to make the visitor's experience rich, exciting, and interactive. Some interesting Artifacts: On display are such artifacts as Peter Schoening's ice axe, Ellingwood's Folding Pocket Kodak Camera, a scale Mt. Everest model and a lot of others.
