Walk Through History Tour
About the Walk Through History Tour
Buckle up for a wild ride through Breckenridge’s past, where every road tells a tale of triumph, tragedy, and pure mountain grit! Imagine walking the same streets where fortune-seekers once stumbled, their pockets heavy with dreams and their spirits even heavier with disappointment, tracing the raw, unfiltered story of a town that refused to die. From gleaming mansions that whisper of sudden wealth to weathered log cabins that echo with the ghosts of broken promises, our signature tour resurrects the spirits of the miners, settlers, and mountain mavens who transformed this rugged landscape into a legend. Dress for the elements and prepare for an outdoor experience because in Breckenridge, history is as unpredictable as the weather!
This is a 90 minute long, mostly outdoor walking tour offered in sun, wind, and snow. It covers about six town blocks and goes up and down a few small hills. There are frequent stops along the tour. Guests are standing most of the time; there are typically a couple opportunities for guests to sit. Dressing for the weather and conditions is important. Click here for more FAQs.

“Awesome tour! June was our tour guide and I don’t think you could find a more knowledgeable person. She has a real passion for history and a love of the area. June has an incredible depth of knowledge so when we asked questions she had no problem going off script sharing great stories that personalized the experience. Breckenridge has a very rich history and taking this tour has elevated my appreciation of the area and my enjoyment of our vacation.”
Many of the commercial buildings on Breckenridge’s main streets were built with false fronts to give them a statelier look and to provide advertising space for businesses. False fronts are still visible on many of these buildings today.
