South Park City

South Park City

South Park City is an open air museum located at the west end of Front Street in the town of Fairplay in Park County, Colorado. The museum is a historic reconstruction of a mining town from the days of the Colorado Gold Rush and the later Colorado Silver Boom in South Park in the late 1850s through the 1880s. The museum contains 34 authentic relocated buildings filled with over 60,000 artifacts that depict many of the economic and social aspects of life in a gold or silver mining town in Colorado in the late 19th century. The museum was opened in 1959 after two years of preparatory work by the South Park Historical Foundation. The museum is open daily from mid May to mid October.
