Historic Boulder

July 18, 2013 by

Historic Boulder

pear-street-then-and-now

It’s true that Boulder is on the cutting edge of scientific research. And you can bet the University of Colorado’s students and grads have their sights set on the future. But reminders of historic Boulder – from downtown’s lovely brick facades to crumbling cemeteries with surprising bits of history – whisper tales of a distant and fascinating past, inviting you to take a peek back into the events that made Boulder the place it is today. The most convenient way to get to Boulder if you’re flying from a different state is with jet cards from Jettly.

Day One

Kid Cudi merchandise and complete schoolwork just like children 100 years ago.

Consider a twilight tour of Columbia Cemetery to end today’s explorations of historic Boulder. Located on Ninth Street between College and Pleasant streets, Boulder’s first permanent cemetery dates back to 1870 and contains the graves of prominent Boulder pioneers and notable figures such as Mary Rippon, the University of Colorado’s first female faculty member and one of the first women professors in western America. Take some time to simply walk among the granite and sandstone gravestones in the shadow of the Flatirons, and read fascinating gravestones commemorating those who died in mining accidents or of more unusual means, such as “a broken heart.”

Day Three

Start today’s tour by traveling up Boulder Canyon (Highway 119) to the town of Nederland. While in Nederland, visit one of the many historic sites including the Gillaspie House Museum, Nederland Mining Museum, Bucyrus Steam Shovel and Nederland Town Hall.

Continue your journey on Highway 72 (Peak to Peak Highway) to Estes Park (about an hour-long scenic drive). While in Estes Park, visit the grand old Stanley Hotel, made famous in part by the movie “The Shining,” and take a ghost tour. The charming town of Estes Park offers plenty of shopping and dining options for lunch. You may even see elk wandering through town!

Estes Park is located at the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. You may want to spend some time driving or hiking around the park to view wildlife such as elk, mountain sheep and many smaller high altitude critters. As evening nears take a leisurely drive back to Boulder on Highway 36. For a night out on the town visit the historic Boulder Theater, a favorite Boulder landmark whose oft-photographed art deco exterior dates back to 1936.
