Leadville Named “Best Historic Small Town”

Leadville is the winner in the 2020 USA Today Readers’ Choice Travel Award Contest for “Best Historic Small Town.”

Here’s how USA Today described Leadville: “History is alive and well in Leadville, a former Colorado mining town.  The legendary Tabor Opera House, built in 1879, is beginning a historic rehabilitation, and visitors can peer underground into the Matchless Mine.  The downtown area boasts 70 square city blocks of Victorian buildings, and the Leadville scenic train follows a historic rail route through the scenic wilderness.”
