- Silver Plume is an Abandoned Ghost Town tucked into a narrow canyon a little over 9,000 feet in altitude. It’s just a few miles from its well-preserved neighbor, Georgetown Colorado. In-fact both towns are part of the “Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic District”.
Initial development of the town was slow and it was composed of only a few buildings. The Pelican mine gave rise to Silver Plume in 1869. The Pelican mine was situated near a competitive mine, the Dive. It was so close the owners of the mines fought often about each other encroaching on...

Your video brings back a lot of memories as I visited Silver Plume and Georgetown in the early 1960s with my parents and aunt and uncle, both long time Englewood residents. There were quite a few people still living in Silver Plume at that time with quite a few businesses still operating. I returned many times over the years and I regret never having walked up to any of the mines though I explored many others that supported what became ghost towns in Colorado.
I’m actually staying in the house across the street from the Windsor Hotel right now. It’s called the 420 house because that’s the address.
This place stole my heart back in the early 90's. By chance I arrived when there was a bit of a festival happening and everyone was so warm and friendly. I have original art purchased inside the old church (was a gallery, now private home). I've explored up the mountains and down the paths. Many loaves of BREAD. The KP was a great place to grab a bite. Is it still there? I've left instructions to have my ashes sprinkled there (sorry so gloomy). Funny thing is, I don't wear silver..my coloring favors gold better. Still love that town and always will.
That's sad I lived there and new OLD Dave that had the hote.THE BEST HOMEMADE BREAD DONE IN WOODBURNERS IN THE OLD MERCHANT STORE.BEAUTIFUL PLACEl.I THINK MAYBE 40 PEOP.E LIVED THERE YEAR ROUND.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
Silver Plume and Georgetown were connected by the Colorado Central, a narrow gauge railroad. The line ran through the steep, narrow Clear Creek Canyon, crossing the creek several times at the Georgetown Loop. It was quite scenic, with the track looping around and climbing, to finally cross a spindly iron or steel trestle. Although the trestle was torn up for scrap in 1919, it was rebuilt in the 1970s and is now a tourist line with the same spectacular views. Another great video, Doug!
This place is captivating, I am on my 3rd watch and planning a trip. Thanks again for sharing!
this was awesome. the good old day's. there is nothinging like it.
Awesome video with good information. Thank you I would love to go there!!
Great video!! I lived Dillon/Keystone area, which is west of Silver Plume, maybe 40mi. I love the area, there is so history in those mining areas.
Great job!!
Good video, will put it on my FB page Colorado Mining Towns and Ruins, a little dissappointed you did'nt mention the fantastic Rowe museum and old school that is still in great shape and that we did a ghost hunt at, got lots of activity! Incidentally all the times that I have been there the Bread store has been open and active so not too worried about that!
Wonderful video and narrative of Silver Plume. I also made a video of Silver Plume on my channel.
Very good video. I'm sorry I missed this town when I lived in Colorado.
This is the town that I would like to visit so if I ever get to Colorado I will definitely make a trip to this town. Thank you for sharing this very interesting video . 😁👍💕
Thank you for your videos. I hope to buy a home near Guffey, Colorado and if lucky enough to see that through I hope also then to personally visit some of these wonderful old places of American history...
There is a beautiful school house there as well that is rich with history and even housed some of the local miners at one point. Should check it out as well. Was hoping more history was in the video but definitely a place to stop in
This is so cool....
Isn’t this where the unsolved mysteries episode took place that featured Tom young and Keith Reinhardt? Sad to see this place has gone down like this
If we ever head that direction.. We will definitely go there
Awe man you missed out there’s a cemetery for silverplume had a lot of old Burials dating back to the 1800’s and a mine right up from the town you can go in but has recently half of it has collapsed super dope only the locals know about the cemetery
