Cripple Creek Historic District
Cripple Creek Historic District, Historical district in Cripple Creek, United States.
The Cripple Creek Historic District encompasses 2,300 acres of land containing numerous preserved buildings and mining sites from the 1890s gold rush period.
Following the discovery of gold by Bob Womack in 1890, over 500 mines were established in the district, producing 22 million ounces of gold by 1910.
The district includes the Midland Terminal Depot, Teller County Courthouse, and Imperial Hotel, which represent the architectural styles of late 19th century mining towns.
State Highway 67 provides direct access to the district, where visitors can explore ten operating casinos housed in restored historical structures.
Two major fires in April 1896 led to the complete reconstruction of the business district, resulting in more durable buildings that remain standing today.
