Historic Old Colorado City is a fun little area within Colorado Springs that has unique and original Colorado shops, restaurants, galleries and more. Upon entering this cute little area you notice it has a Old West vibe to it. That is because it was founded in 1895 and though it has changed over the years it still keeps true to the original town.
History
The history is quite interesting, this little area is where the gold miners from the Pikes Peak Gold Rush got their supplies. Now you can get all kinds of fun things in their many stores. The shops have everything from Colorado Souvenirs, clothing, jewelry and unique local art. There are nearly 100 shops for you to enjoy.
