A
Aspen Volunteer Fire Department Museum
This gleaming new firehouse has a three-story wing devoted to shedding light on what is still largely a volunteer force, a force first organized in 1881. There's a timeline mural on the wall and a fantastic restored fire wagon from late 19th century. From the second and third floors you can peer down onto the current fleet. A 15-minute spin around the museum satisfies the little boy within and without.

Aspen Art Museum
No permanent collection here, just edgy, innovative contemporary exhibitions featuring paintings, mixed media, sculpture, video installations and photography by artists such as Mamma Anderssen, Mark Manders and Susan Phiipszmark. Art lovers will not leave disappointed. Visit in August and you can experience its annual artCRUSH event, an art auction and wine-tasting extravaganza.
