Edwin Carter was born in Oneida, New York in 1828, and came to Colorado as a prospector in 1860 during the gold rush. Carter came to Breckenridge in 1868 in search of gold and fortune, but soon changed his life's direction as a result of what he saw taking place.   

He was distraught over the environmental devastation and blatant disregard for wildlife that he witnessed, and as a result, devoted his life to conservation.  Carter began to collect specimens of Rocky Mountain mammals and raptors, and kepts them in his museum for the appreciation of future generations.
