Telluride Historical Museum Annual Exhibit Opening Reception

The Telluride Historical Museum is excited to announce their 2025-2026 annual exhibit: “A Rare Medium, Well-Done: 50 Years of KOTO-FM”. Founded in 1975, KOTO was born from a bold idea: a radio station built by the community, for the community. For five decades, KOTO has remained a commercial-free, non-underwritten voice for Telluride - informing, entertaining, and connecting locals. The exhibit invites visitors to tune in to KOTO’s unique story - a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and the enduring importance of local media. The exhibit features a special collaboration with the Pinhead Institute exploring the early history of radio, along with over 25 archival audio samples from KOTO’s rich past - made possible in large part by the Wilkinson Public Library. Visitors can also enjoy memories from former and current KOTO DJs and explore artifacts, photos, and milestones that trace the station’s evolution over the decades. The exhibit opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025, from 5 to 8pm. The event is free and open to the public, with refreshments provided. “A Rare Medium, Well-Done: 50 Years of KOTO-FM” will be on display at the Telluride Historical Museum from June 12th, 2025, through the close of the 2026 winter season (early April 2026). The Telluride Historical Museum will reopen for the 2025 summer season on Monday, June 2. Summer hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am to 5pm (last admission at 4:30pm). Saturdays are free for Telluride locals.
