Why this spot
1901-1930s gold camp with 1914 revival
Main camp of the Fairplay Mining District, with a hotel, stores, a dance hall, a newspaper and a stage line to Mina; it was a company town from 1906. It emptied in 1908, revived in 1914 with the Okey Davis and Butler camps, and the last mines closed in the early 1930s, with the last resident leaving in 1959.View source →
