Adams State Luther Bean Museum
The Luther Bean Museum includes a mural, painted by Noel Tucker in 1937, depicting the
legend of the naming of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. The museum’s permanent
collections represent largely regional and local arts and historical objects. Displays include
Native American pottery, items featuring former Colorado Governor and Adams State
University’s founder William H. “Billy” Adams, and Major Lafayette Head, Colorado’s first
lieutenant governor, U.S. Indian agent, and early settler of Conejos County.
