The Red Mountain Museum was a museum dedicated to the geology of Red Mountain in addition to the paleontology, biology and engineering of the area. The facility is located at 2230 Arlington Crescent South along the Red Mountain cut. Additionally, the museum featured a path straddling the cut with interpretative signage telling of the history and geologic features of the mountain. The museum was in operation from 1971 through 1998 when the McWane Center opened. After McWane's opening, many of the exhibits from the Red Mountain Museum were relocated there.
