Edwin Carter Museum

In 1868 prospector Edwin Carter built this cabin in Breckenridge, where he made buckskin clothes and tried his luck during the Colorado Gold Rush. Carter soon quit mining and became a naturalist, filling his cabin with thousands of wildlife specimens from the surrounding mountains. Today his cabin is a small museum in Breckenridge.
