Why this spot
1894-1940s Cripple Creek district rail and mill town
Rail town platted in 1894 where the Midland Terminal Railway first reached the Cripple Creek district, with churches, many businesses, an ore mill and the only legal bullfight held in the US (1895). It faded after 1900 and was mostly abandoned by the 1940s.View source →
