OLD COLORADO CITY. Experience the story of Colorado's first capital. After a period of revitalization, this historic district thrives today as a center of arts and commerce. Learn about the interesting history of this unique place where, at one time, saloons and places of mischief were separated from churches by only the width of a city street, and tunnels were built underneath those streets allowing patrons to frequent either unassumingly. Exhibits and artifacts are on display, and free tours are available.
