Museum of the Mountain West
One of our all time favorite museums. A huge collection of Western artifacts and a tour by enthusiastic guides included in the admission price. If you're passing by Montrose, Colorado it's worth a visit.
Museum of the Mountain West - Blacksmith Frank Anderson
Every chance we get we head out to the Museum of the Mountain West with our cameras and equipment. This weekend a number of Boy Scout Troops from around Western Colorado came to tour the Museum. And as usual, when there is a special event, Frank Anderson was there working at the Museum's old forge. What a treat to film a real blacksmith at work. There's just not that many of these craftsmen left. By the way this was filmed in the building where heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey trained as a young man - saved from the landfill by the Museum.

Ghost Town History
Ghost Town Museum was created in 1954 to preserve a piece of Colorado's Wild West heritage.
In 1858 the cry Pikes Peak or Bust opened up the heartland of the Colorado territory to the gold prospector. Gold mining became a significant factor that led to the statehood of Colorado. The miners and the people who provided services to them quickly populated the western frontier of the United States. They needed transportation, and before long the twin steel ribbons of the railroads were pushing into the mountains to transport ore for processing.
Towns sprang up overnight and by the 1860's and 1870's people had blanketed the west. It was a rough and tumble time. Small encampments became small towns. Small cities along the rocky mountain Front Range provided a central location for supplies and services. The search for gold drove prospectors to every mountain valley, and every mountain peak. If gold or silver were not located, or if the mines played out, the towns were often abandoned to become ghost towns.
Little by little the raw spirit of the frontier died down. By the time gold was discovered in Cripple Creek in 1891, the frontier was almost gone. Today almost nothing remains of those exciting days of the old west. A scattered pile of old lumber, a tumbled pile of rocks marking an old mine, an occasional wagon wheel or a piece of equipment. The rip roaring camps of 100 years ago have become ghost towns now only a memory of a bygone era.

Tour an Old West Town in Southern Oregon
Oregon’s small towns brim with relics of the Old West: vestiges of 19th-century pioneers and the new lives they built here. Few communities have preserved that history better than the teensy burg of Oakland, a twee town of just 900 tucked in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua Valley. Its handsome downtown retains the original brick structures built in the 1880s and 1890s, and it was the state’s first historic district recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. A self-guided Historic Walking Tour encompasses more than 80 sites — old-time storefronts, antique shops and Victorian-era homes. Pick up a copy of the map at the Oakland Museum, spend an afternoon strolling the town and don’t forget to pop into Tolly’s Grill & Soda Fountain for a thick milkshake.

2018 State Honor Award - Ute Indian Museum
Colorado Preservation, Inc. - Dana Crawford Awards 2018
**State Honor Award - Ute Indian Museum**
Nestled in the heart of traditional Ute territory, the Ute Indian Museum in Montrose, Colorado, is History Colorado’s only facility in western Colorado. The Museum was built in 1956 on the original lands of Uncompahgre leader Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta. The Ute Indian Museum celebrates the history and the living culture of Colorado’s longest continuous residents and features one of the most extensive collections of Ute ethnographic objects in existence.
The State of Colorado appropriated $2.9 million to renovate the Ute Indian Museum building. The expanded Museum makes connections between past and contemporary Ute life and culture and the Ute peoples’ history of adaptation and persistence. After several years of collaboration between History Colorado and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe on planning, construction, exhibit design, and fundraising the museum re-opened to the public on June 10, 2017.

Ouray Colorado to Silverton Colorado along the Million Dollar Highway
We will take you on a five minute road trip between Ouray, Colorado and Silverton, Colorado along the Million Dollar Highway. We took this day trip while camping out at the Ouray RV Park and Cabins. You will see old mine shafts that date back to the 1800's Tailings from the old mines. Miners houses and some very beautiful country.
The Switzerland of America - along the back roads and Scenic Byways: you can see vistas where old Hollywood westerns were filmed and explore high country ghost towns that were once booming mining cities. Ouray is also known as “The Jeeping Capital of the World.” Regardless of the season or the purpose of your visit, a trip to the famous, sulfur-free Ouray Hot Springs Pool is always a treat. With nearly one-million gallons of naturally heated water from deep in the earth, the hot springs pool has been a soothing destination for generations.
The Million Dollar Highway delivers jaw-dropping vista after vista. It was cut from the side of the mountain and became know as the Million Dollar Highway. It's one of the most scenic drives in the USA. There are several legends, though, including that it cost a million dollars a mile to build it, this is in the 1800's and that its fill dirt contains a million dollars in gold ore.
Silverton is where the video ends, a video on Silverton coming soon.

The Ghost town of Parksville, NY Warning; This town is spooky and eerie, yet also majestic and beaut
What an incredible find, up in the Catskills of NY. I have seen other videos of people getting inside some of these businesses and buildings. The only thing I will say, is that there are still a few people living where the town used to be active, and I did not feel comfortable trying anything with them around. It was early afternoon and the weather sucked, but regardless here is the footage I got.
