Visitors Center & Museum
The New Haven Visitors Center & Museum is located downtown at Main & Miller Streets. Books and items of local historical interest can be found there, along with interpretive displays that focus on the life and times of John Colter. The John Colter Memorial is just across the street.

Colter, the famous mountain man, explorer, and member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, spent the last years of his life not far from New Haven. Where he was actually buried remains a mystery, and a topic of speculation among scholars and local history buffs.
