Explore Central Colorado History

 Printable Version

Central Colorado is rich with as much history as it has been with silver and gold. Visiting ghost towns helps you relive the past while at the same time takes your breath away with the glorious scenery of the surrounding mountains. Touring historic cemeteries recalls the lives of all those fortune seekers and just plain folk that have gone before. Museums take you deeper into history and help you appreciate what it took to make each town what it is today.
