Afterhours Fee
The Longmont Museum is open from 9am – 5pm Monday through Friday and 9am – 3pm on Saturdays.
Any event extending beyond the Museum’s open hours will incur a flat afterhours fee of $175. This fee is required so that we can appropriately compensate staff for their time to be on site for the duration of an event.

We require a Security and Damage Deposit for all events that take place at the Museum. The amount of the deposit varies by the space being utilized and is fully refundable following the event, given there is no damage to the Museum.
