Soon after the Rimrocker Historical Society formed in 1966, the group became inundated with historical items donated by local citizens. Now the Rimrockers needed a facility to showcase their collection. In 1975, West End Schools offered the old schoolhouse to the town of Naturita, who in turn offered the use of half the facility as a museum to the society- if they could arrange and pay for moving the old building.

The group was ecstatic. With the help of many bake sales, donations, and a Colorado Historical Society grant, the job was done.  Over the years the building became crowded with history, each item too memorable to pack away.

In  2023 a building was found in Nucla and the Rimrockers began moving the museum. The Rimrocker Museum is now in the original Nucla Pharmacy building built in 1913. Being on Main Street has brought many new visitors in to see our amazing collection.
