Victor, Colorado - Unexpected Gems in the "City of Mines" Part 2 🌟 - Mine Overlook, Museum, History

Victor, Colorado, known as the “City of Mines,” rose to prominence in the 1890s after gold was discovered on Battle Mountain. The strike transformed the region into one of the richest gold-mining districts in the world. While the boom years have long passed, traces of the town’s mining heritage remain in its historic head frames, old brick buildings, and the still-active Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine—the largest operating gold mine in Colorado. In today’s video, we explore a few of Victor's gems including Grassy Valley Overlook 💎, an overlook built from a repurposed mining truck bucket that provides a spectacular view of a massive open-pit mine. We walk around town to several historic landmarks 💎, including the former Midland Terminal Railway Depot, the ruins of the Gold Coin Mine, and the Gold Coin Club. We tour the fantastic Victor Lowell Thomas Museum 💎, a museum that celebrates both local mining history and the life of Lowell Thomas, the world-famous journalist who grew up in Victor. Victor is a wonderful place to spend a day. It’s remote and quiet and the sounds of nature don’t have to compete with environmental noise. It is a tiny town that holds a big piece of Colorado’s history. Check it out! 👍 If you like this content, please give it a thumbs up.
