Georgetown - Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District

The Georgetown – Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District is located in the high mountains of Colorado’s Front Range. The GT-SP NHLD conserves and interprets the architecture, ambience, lifestyles, and setting of two of the best-preserved 19th century silver mining boom towns of the Rocky Mountain West.

Much like its 19th century residents and tourists, visitors today come to Georgetown and Silver Plume from Colorado, the United States, and many foreign countries. The Gateway Visitor Center in Georgetown serves nearly 450,000 visitors annually. The towns support tourism by providing an immersive historic setting and by sponsoring cultural activities throughout the year, such as the Christmas market, Fourth of July celebrations in Georgetown, and the annual melodrama in Silver Plume. Heritage tourism includes the Lebanon and Everett mine tours, rides on the restored narrow-gauge Georgetown Loop Railroad, The Old School in Georgetown, and museums including the George Rowe Museum, Hotel de Paris, Georgetown Energy Museum, Alpine Hose Fire Museum, and Hamill House Museum or simply walks in the presence of the past.
