    At Central City’s Teller House

    By Jaclyn Schrock

    Oh the festivities of the original Gilpin County seat bring giggly children to Santa, coloring contest, and cookie decorating by the amazing ginger bread house! Many children and adults heard the clip-clopping on the brick roads along Main Street in Central City, thrilled to get free rides.

  • A “tailing tale” of Winston Walker and Lincoln Hills

    A “tailing tale” of Winston Walker and Lincoln Hills

    Colorado History 

    By Maggie Magoffin

    In my research and endeavors to get a personal perspective of Lincoln Hills I’ve had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Winston Walker. Several months ago, Winston, a tall, slender, soft spoken gentleman who loves the out-of-doors, accompanied me to Lincoln Hills where we spent several hours with photographer, Julian Gothard. As we traveled from Arvada up to Gilpin County Winston shared many stories and personal insights about the resort, it’s past and present. His thorough knowledge of the area and the people led me to wonder what his connection was to this beautiful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of metro-Denver. (more…)

    Mountain Rendezvous Chapter gives back to our community

    by Patty Unruh

    Our Gilpin County first responders do a great deal to keep this community safe and running smoothly. Many of them are volunteers and are our friends and neighbors.

    With this in mind, the Mountain Rendezvous Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Evergreen took time last year — October 2016 — to reach out with goodie baskets and thank-you notes for members of the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office and Timberline Fire Protection District. The baskets included chips and salsa, hummus, popcorn, trail mix, cookies, home-baked banana bread, and protein drinks. The treats were the group’s way to show appreciation for the many services our first responders provide. (more…)
