The Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering

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.
