There is, but if you go there to actually look at it in person, it’s not much to see.

That’s a good thing because if I get to Crested Butte, I don’t plan on spending much time indoors
Although, a quick 5-minute stop to check it out would be pretty cool.

Unfortunately, they charge you money to get in, and IMO, it’s pretty under-whelming

Maybe I’m just coloring it in a bad light… but I just wasn’t super impressed. Being inducted is pretty cool, and the website is neat, it’s just kind of sad that the actual location doesn’t have more physical stuff to check out.
