Synopsis

There are many ways to rediscover Cripple Creek but one of the best is through its tangible history, commercial buildings, private homes, sites, and structures. That history is accessible to all, standing on nearly every street in this National Historic Landmark. But attaining the verbal historic background associated with these buildings, sites, and structures is not easy. That's because the verbal history is often buried in archives, hidden away in rare publications, obscured by myth and legend. This walking/driving tour publication is meant to put on display the history behind the architectural detail, give meaning and substance to the importance of preserving the historic fabric of Cripple Creek. By connecting the actual facts and stories of Cripple Creek's historic characters with existing historic buildings, new life and intrigue are breathed into all that old brick, stone and wood. And the more thorough the tour, the greater the appreciation.
