A great opportunity to discover Durango’s history, the Animas Museum is the same location as the Animas City School built in 1906. The museum contains collections that will take you back into history, including a turn-of-the-century classroom and the pioneer Joy Cabin, as well as a gift shop. Open year round!

Located along the edge of the Animas River, in sight of the railroad tracks, the recently built Durango Public Library has sections for kids, parents as well as a restaurant to purchase food. Both children and parents can enjoy the peaceful and friendly atmosphere as they read and play games. When ready to leave, families can take an easy stroll down the Animas River Trail, located just outside the Library.
