“The Town itself was established in 1859 as the call of gold beckoned many white settlers to cross the Continental Divide. Twenty years later, it was a flourishing town with their fair share of saloons, dance halls, churches, a school, bank, post office, and several other establishments. It continued to grow as silver was discovered and another wave of hopeful fortune hunters began to invade the growing boomtown community. Much of the Breckenridge establishments disappeared as it entered the twe...ntieth century. In the late 1800’s, this little town tried to achieve the status of a ghost town with a population of around 250---it failed. In 1961 a lumber company from Wichita, Ks. had the vision of an upscale ski resort, which brought a new era to the sleepy community. Once again, Breckenridge became a hustling quaint community of the Rockies.MoreLessRead More Read Less
