Welcome!

Welcome to our Colorado Cemeteries and Ghost Town Blog! Hopefully it will be as entertaining and informative for you as it was fun for us exploring.

I (Paul) recently took up photography as a hobby and in trying to decide what would be fun to photograph, Shelley showed me a Ghost Towns of Colorado book that we had. Realizing that there were a number of these in our backyard here in the Foothills of Colorado, we decided to take a trip down to Fairplay and visit a couple of Ghost Towns.

While searching around the area, we discovered the Park City Cemetery, which by all accounts and presentations is not much to look at, but it was more than fascinating and got us hooked on not only the Ghost Towns, but also Cemeteries.

However, what we found in our Ghost Town book was a bit lacking and we decided to not only use this blog as a further explanation of what the sites hold, but because I am getting into photography, a photographic journey into the past of the Gold Rush days in Colorado.
