Touring and Sites to See

Colorado State Capital

The capitol building was built in the 1890's and in 1908 24 karat gold was used to plate the dome. The gold plated dome commemorates Colorado's Gold Rush days, and the early pioneers and miners who helped build this great state.

As you stroll the grounds, you will find the surrounding area has ample memorials dedicated to the Civil War Veterans, the men who served aboard the U.S.S. Colorado & Gettysburg, and other Coloradoans who have died on foreign soil.

Stand on the 13th step of the Capital building and you will be exactly one mile above sea level!
 

Denver Mint

Touring the United States Mint is a fascinating experience for those of all ages and one that will be remembered for a lifetime.
