“A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints” ~Wilfred Peterson

Today is a repeat tour. I'm on the road to Baton Rouge, LA today to visit family and attend a wedding. Please enjoy and take us along on your tour by linking below! Wishing all a Grand Adventure!
~~~~~~~
Central City, Colorado
Gold found there in May, 1859 caused it to be
called The Richest Square Mile on Earth.
Saint James United Methodist Church
One of the oldest churches in the state.
Central City Opera House
Built in 1879 by Welsh and Cornish Miners.
Carriage House Sign
Store Fronts
A journey to Central City is step back in time. Though gold mining is no longer the main source of income, it is grand to walk the streets and wonder what thrilling events took place here. There is a wonderful book written by Caroline Bancroft about the history of Central City called Gulch of Gold. I highly recommend it.
