We are a historical town worth exploring!! 👀👀

"Here, just 35 miles West of Denver (and still a world away in terms of the vibe and aesthetic), the gold rush got a jump start – kicking off in 1859. Within two months of the first discoveries, 10,000 people had moved in. Such a high density of energized prospectors/miners naturally led to some of the shenanigans associated with the Wild West."

Thanks for the feature, Worldatlas.com!

This state has many stories to tell, and the best way to get caught up is to visit the many historic small towns that lived through these colorful periods.

Tommyknocker Holidays start this Thursday with the kids' events! 🎄Kids can decorate the City Tree and then keep the party going with Father Christmas and Mrs. Claus at the Teller House.

They’re not elves … they’re tommyknockers! With Central City’s gold mining origins, it’s only fitting that we’ve named our holiday festival after these mythical little creatures that are said to live underground in mines. And just like the tommyknockers, our holiday festival will be fun ...
