The Buena Vista, Park County and Leadville area is a must-see for Colorado historians and for anyone looking for an adventure. This area was once home to the Ute Indians, and then, like many Colorado towns, miners came when they learned of gold in the area. In 1859-1860, the famous Slater Party made an 8 million dollar gold discovery in California Gulch, starting the swarm of prospectors to the Leadville area. By the 1860s, however, minors had exhausted the area of gold. Alvinus Wood and William Stevens, two veteran minors, discovered a number of years later that "all that black stuff" that they were having trouble separating from the gold was actually silver bearing lead ore. By 1880 the silver boom began bringing prosperity to the area once again. Leadville quickly became the largest city in Colorado. Many famous people trace their roots to Leadville. J.J. and Molly Brown and Baby Doe and Horace Tabor are just a couple of the people who struck it rich here.
