© 2022 Colorado Historic Opera Houses Circuit
Visit Leadville and Twin Lakes for a trip you’ll treasure. Be awed by the majestic beauty of Colorado’s highest peaks and large sparkling glacial lakes. Discover two genuine and historic mountain towns.
Plan some time to roam Leadville's Victorian historic district and the Village of Twin Lakes. Both offer unique shopping, dining, and lodging in historic settings.
The local history is filled with dramatic stories of real people who mined in these frontier mountain towns. During the summer season, Leadville offers eight museums dedicated to mining heritage and history. Find a world-class gem collection, visit a frontier synagogue, and peer down a mine shaft. Tour the Tabor Opera House, built in 1879 in only 100 days, to hear legendary stories, see the performance hall, and visit the Tabor museum.
Leadville and Twin Lakes are a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. In summer, enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, golfing, paddling, and boating, and more. You can ride a scenic train or zoom on a zipline. In winter, you can explore nearly 100 miles of affordable groomed trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, and snowmobiling. Responsible recreation is a priority, to protect these pristine natural resources.
