About The Trailhead Children's Museum
The Trailhead Children’s Museum (EIN: 26-2162713) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a hands-on, play-based children’s museum serving Crested Butte and visiting families. The organization emphasizes open-ended exhibits, creative arts, STEM exploration, and opportunities for caregivers and children to learn together.
