A Journey around Colorado's Ghost Towns

Diddley Squat
/
ghosttowns.com

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Why not grab a camera and go hunting for Colorado’s forgotten past? The website ghosttowns.com has a Colorado section, with helpful interactive maps, where you can learn about towns like Tuttle, in Kit Carson County, which was a US Post Office for the Pony Express, or Boggsville in Bent County, which was the final home of Kit Carson, or Chivington in Kiowa County, where the old dilapidated schoolhouse still stands out on the open plains. At the website, you can see photographs of that schoolhouse, along with images of the abandoned general store and bank in Brandon Colorado, and the old roadside service station in Genoa.
