150th Gold Rush Anniversary
Idaho Springs, Colorado

Where the Gold Rush Began

Welcome!
Join us for a year-long celebration of the gold discovery that brought the Colorado Gold Rush to the Rocky Mountains and ultimately led to statehood for Colorado.  Use the links below to learn more about the festivities planned throughout 2009.  Learn about Colorado's early entrepreneurs, pan for gold, tour a mine, ride a train, enjoy a festival, visit our local businesses and enjoy the local color.  

The 150th Gold Rush Anniversary celebration is coordinated by the Historical Society of Idaho Springs in cooperation with the City of Idaho Springs and a long list of supporters and other organizations that have organized festivities within their own communities.  
Check the calendar for specific event sponsor names.

We're going to celebrate all year, and you're invited to join us!
