The town also has a rich history, including the Gold Rush. The Victorian core of Breckenridge is still standing and is part of the Breckenridge National Historic District. The Victorian buildings are reminiscent of the early 1880s and are home to several shops and restaurants. Visitors will find a number of activities to keep them entertained during their stay in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Breckenridge is also home to several unique recreation venues, including ice skating rinks, a mini golf course, and a computer shop. There are even a variety of local and national-level leagues, and the Breckenridge Nordic Center offers lessons, equipment rentals, and tours. The nearby Sawmill Reservoir and Sawmill Creek Trail are great places to enjoy a relaxing afternoon of ice skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town has a vibrant downtown, and many of the shops are devoted to local crafts. The historic Barney Ford House Museum is a must-see for visitors. This building, sometimes called the Barney Ford Victorian House, tells the story of the famous former slave, Barney Ford. He escaped from slavery in South Carolina at the age of seventeen, and was freed by the Underground Railroad. He then worked as a waiter and eventually opened a hotel and restaurant in Nicaragua. In 1860, he and his wife moved to Colorado in an effort to find gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are more into the arts can take up painting or pottery classes. The town also has an ice skating rink, the Stephen C. West Ice Arena. With public and hockey sessions throughout the week, the facility features a well-stocked pro shop and offers lessons for beginners and advanced skaters. There are several events for children and adults to participate in at the Breckenridge Creative Arts Center. This is also an excellent place for the entire family to enjoy local theater, concerts, and other cultural events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides visiting local museums, visitors can explore the town&#8217;s history through a Breckenridge walking tour. The walk will take them through the downtown store district and hear tales about the rough and tumble individuals who made this place a destination. The city also has a film festival and Fourth of July parade. Among the many attractions in the area, the town is a must for tourists. If you&#8217;re looking for a holiday getaway, a visit to Breckenridge Colorado is a great way to spend a vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to experience the history of the town and its surrounding areas, a visit to the Breckenridge Welcome Center is a must. This is the town&#8217;s tourist information center, and you&#8217;ll find maps and exhibits about the town&#8217;s history. Unlike many other towns in the United States, Breckenridge Colorado has no public bathrooms, but it does have a public restroom. By visiting the Welcome Center, you can use it to take a shower or change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A town at the base of the Tenmile Range, Breckenridge Colorado is a popular ski resort and year-round alpine activity center.
