Big Timbers Museum located 1 mile north of Lamar on the KLMR Corner of US Hwy 50 north of Lamar, Colorado, in Prowers County is housed in the American Telephone and Telegraph Company Building erected in 1929. In 1966 this building was presented to the Prowers County Historical Society for use as a museum. The Prowers County Historical Society sold the property and buildings in 1972 to the Prowers County Commissioners, who have leased it to The Historical Society for 99 years.
