Much of Leadville’s downtown—70 square blocks surrounding Harrison Avenue—is designated a National Historic Landmark District of Victorian architecture.

In this colorful district, see buildings built between 1880 and 1905, including the largest opera house west of the Mississippi, the saloon visited by Oscar Wilde, and two historic 1879 churches.

Pick up a map at the Visitor Center at 460 Harrison Avenue in downtown Leadville. Or see page 10 of the Leadville & Twin Lakes History Guide for a downtown walking tour.
