Introduction to the Museum of the Mountain Man

The full 20 min. version of Legacy of the Mountain Men is available in our giftshop.

Confluence of Cultures is a spectacular exhibition exploring the meeting of Plains Indian and Mountain Man cultures in the Rocky Mountains during the 1820s and 1830s through the work of leading contemporary Western artists. On display during the 2026 and 2027 museum seasons, the exhibition features 87 original works by 45 artists from the Peterson Family Collection.

Published each July, this peer-reviewed journal explores the early 1800s fur trade in the Rocky Mountains. It provides researchers a platform to share new discoveries, insights, and ideas about this fascinating era.

Celebrate the 10th year of the Western Art & Wine Auction, held each year in conjunction with Green River Rendezvous. Browse a curated collection of Western art, bid on unique auction items, enjoy food and wine, and laugh along with featured entertainer and cowboy poet Andy Nelson.

Since its founding in 1990, the Museum of the Mountain Man has been dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the Rocky Mountain fur trade. Located in Pinedale, the Museum is operated by the Sublette County Historical Society in partnership with the county.

Caught Off Guard

When the Oscar winning film The Revenant was released in 2016 many questions arose on the accuracy of the historical information that was portrayed. Fur Trade historians have put to bed some of the speculation with well written research on this website.

The Museum of the Mountain Man partnered with The Ricketts Art Foundation and The Buffalo Bill Center of The West in creating a platform to showcase Alfred Jacob Miller’s works of art and the fur trade history that inspired them.
