Family Overview: Breckenridge, Colorado

Unlike some ski areas, Breckenridge began as a real community over 150 years ago. When gold was discovered in the Blue River in 1859, prospectors crowded into town. Merchants built saloons, dry goods stores, and other wooden structures to serve the hopeful. More than 100 of these buildings remain (now converted to modern uses), creating Colorado’s largest historic district. A walk—coupled with a good dose of imagination—conveys the sense of a 19th-century western mining town.Read More
