Welcome to Buena Vista Heritage
Summer is almost here, which means our doors are just about ready to open again. This year, we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, and we plan to do it in style. Join us at dozens of events and explore all three of our properties this summer!
Buena Vista Heritage wants to acknowledge that all of our properties rest on land that once belonged to the people of the Ute Nation. We try to honor that heritage through telling the stories of those who lived here before.
Buena Vista Heritage is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit organization that exists to preserve and share the history of Buena Vista and Chaffee County for the education and enjoyment of the public. Our goal is to preserve, protect and restore any historical site, building, and artifact pertaining to the Town of Buena Vista, Chaffee County, as well as areas in central and/or western Colorado. We want to recreate and share the special stories unique to our area.
