The Fort Lupton Museum is located in the old Fort Lupton Library building on 1st Street. The library was built in 1929 and in 1976 was consolidated with the high school library at 421 S. Denver Avenue. The museum was started in 1950 when Ralph Haynes, the first rural carrier, gave the city his sonedrul arrow-head collection, all cased, labeled and ready to display. When City Hall was built in 1982, the city had a small museum in the room across from the council room. In 1992, it was moved to this building, so the city could have more office space.

The museum is a potpourri of South Weld County artifacts.
