South Park City is a reconstructed ghost town/museum located in Fairplay, Colorado in the heart of high country and Park County. The museum features several relocated original buildings along with thousands of genuine artifacts from the Old West mining era. The museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
South Park City is only $10 for admission and is absolutely worth every penny. We spent at least a good couple of hours here looking at everything and wish to go back to look at more since we barely scratched the surface. The care and effort that went into labeling artifacts and explaining exhibits is incredible. When you are done with the self-guided tour, you really gain a sense of awareness of how mining camp settlers lived and worked. Another huge plus is that this museum is 100% dog-friendly for leashed pets. The dogs loved all of the sights, sounds and smells of the bygone era as much as we did.
