The Green River Valley Museum in Big Piney is open seasonally from mid-June to mid-October This museum houses a remarkable collection of exhibits related to the settlement era of the Upper Green River Valley, with the goal of honoring the many hard-working families who have built a unique community. The Museum began in 1990 through the hard work of local enthusiasts and volunteers. More information about the museum can be found on their website, www.grvm.com.
