Also known as ‘The Mitch,’ this pleasant gallery was built in honor of local cowboy artist, and the original, if unofficial, town historian, AR Mitchell. Set in an old late-19th-century department store (those tiled ceilings are original), the ground floor is the permanent collection of Mitchell’s work: cowboys, horses, Western landscapes, more horses and more cowboys.
Upstairs, there’s a rotating exhibition space, and the basement has a terrific collection of historic Trinidad photos. There are Mitchell pieces for sale along with turquoise jewelry and quirky cowboy gifts in the adjacent gift shop.
