Historic Liddia Mine - Leadville, Colorado - 2016
Historic Uintah Mine - Leadville, Co.
Anyone who has been to Leadville knows that Mining claims are all but impossible to find. With that in mind we put an exorbitant amount of work and effort into locating this documented gold producer. The substantial and historic mine is set in the Mount Sherman district, just a few miles out of Leadville. Its a very old claim that likely dates back into the 1870s in regards to location. The mine itself is assumed to have been commercially worked from 1900-1920 based on the machinery and many other factors. It has been sporadically worked up to 1981 for the free milling gold values. This has been mostly placer operations as the old drifts and tunnels appear to have been collapsed for at least 30 years.

Leadville Home Tour pt.1
At 10,152 feet, it's the United State's highest incorporated city. In addition to the rich mining history, the unique, creative, artistic paint schemes on the Victorian houses and other distinctive house designs create an eclectic array in this small town.
Leadville was home to H.A.W. Tabor, who became almost as famous for leaving his wife and marrying a younger woman as for discovering one of the richest silver strikes in the state. His second wife, Baby Doe Tabor, became the stuff of legends — there's even an opera about her.
Leadville was a very influential boomtown — it was almost named as Colorado's capital city. Well-preserved, Leadville has 70-square city blocks of Victorian buildings, all part of a designated National Historic Landmark District, along with 20-square miles of a preserved mining district. More than 50 buildings date back to the 1870s, including the Tabor Opera House.
Leadville is located in the geographic center of Colorado, on U.S. Hwy. 24, part of the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway. The town's paved Mineral Belt Trail offers year-round recreation for bikers, hikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers.
In winter, head out to Ski Cooper, a great and affordable family ski area; in summer, catch a ride on the Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad excursion. And don't miss the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, a truly fascinating look at the powerful industry and all the metals that helped build the state.
Just 20 miles from the town of Leadville at the base of Independence Pass is the historic Twin Lakes area, where you'll find world-class fishing and some of Colorado's most spectacular lake and peak scenery. Twin Lakes is close to the trailhead of Mount Elbert and the renowned Interlaken Hotel historical site. It's a true small-town American West experience.

leadville colorado 1950s
Found some old 8mm movies that my father took of Leadville Colorado in the 1950’s not sure of the exact date. This is where he was born and he worked in the mines there as a teenager. He was born in 1918. I guess he was on a hill doing a panorama shot of his home town. The quality is not all that great but that is the way cameras were way back then. The house towards the end of this video is where he was raised along with his 13 brothers and sisters (from 1 mother and father) and the last building was his church. I am sure Leadville has changed now , but I have not been there (that I can remember).

The Hoop Forest Leadville, Colorado Leadville Today
The Hoop Forest. In this Leadville Today video we discover The Hoop Forest located on the outskirts of Leadville, Colorado. There is a portion of the woods where the lofty lodgepole pines house old barrel rings swinging from the treetops as if in an elaborate trapeze act. How did they get up there?! Who or what placed them into branches 50 feet off the forest floor?
