The Lost Towns of Summit County

Narrated by Christy Nelson, the Summit Historical Society presents a look into the rich history of the lost towns and mining camps of Summit County, Colorado.

Learn about gold and silver mining towns that began during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in 1859, and the colorful history of vanishing residencies from the logging, ranching, and railroad industry that followed. We'll take a look at towns that were created by major water projects like The Green Mountain Reservoir and Dillon Reservoir and how winter sports helped save towns that were almost lost, like Frisco and Breckenridge.
