Life in Georgetown

Georgetown is one of Colorado's best-preserved Victorian mining towns — a living museum of silver-boom architecture perched at 8,530 feet in a narrow valley along Clear Creek. The entire downtown is a National Historic Landmark District, with over 200 Victorian-era structures lining the streets. The Georgetown Loop Railroad, a narrow-gauge scenic railway built in 1884, still carries passengers on a spectacular loop through the mountains.
