Small museum about Fred Harman including his art work and comic strip, Red Ryder. $3 admission well worth it. Well informed guide showed us around. Interesting and fun stop. The museum is the home where Fred Harman lived and is now occupied by his son.
Fun to hear of the artistic life and times of Fred Harman. Very knowledgeable docents. Tucked away in a little park-like area in center of Pagosa Springs.
We all had a good time here very educational, children kept asking questions. The employees were very polite and informative.
If you know Red Ryder and Little Beaver, you will love this small museum for all its art and history relating to this comic strip. But it is just as interesting for people who just have an interest in the Old West. The paintings and other collectibles on display are a joy. The docents are well informed and enthusiastic. If you are lucky, you may run into Fred Harman and hear him tell some of his stories of his remarkable pioneer family.
As comic, tv and movie fans, we had to stop by for a visit - and our expectations were met. Little did we expect to get a personal and friendly guide - let alone to hear the story of a western artist's full and varied life. Family, education, business, adventure, hard work and passion led to success. Wish we had had more time...
Don't let the outside fool you. The museum has most of Mr. Harman's paintings. They show a CD with a narrative about many of the paintings which I found to be most informative.
I didn't know much about Fred Harmon before stopping here, but I'm glad we stopped in. We were even lucky enough to be able to talk to Fred Harmon's 87 year old son. Lots of his paintings on exhibit, along with pictures from way back to when he worked with Walt Disney!
Brought back wonderful memories Would recommend this to everyone. Fred Harman's son has great stories to tell about his father
Great museum - just stopped in to check out, and left over an hour later. Very informative, friendly host.
Fascinating look at the man behind the comic strips. Beautiful paintings. Takes me back to my childhood with my bb gun.
