Aspen & Pitkin County
Historic material from Aspen and Pitkin County, from the silver boom that began with discoveries in 1879 to the town’s modern rebirth. Investors such as Jerome B. Wheeler and David M. Hyman, whose memoir recounts those years, financed the mines that made Aspen one of Colorado’s leading silver producers by the late 1880s. The Silver Panic of 1893 ended that era almost overnight. This category includes Aspen mining stock certificates, histories, photographs and documents, and material from the 1949 Goethe Bicentennial Convocation that marked the beginning of Aspen’s cultural renaissance. Each item is described with its date, issuer and condition, and placed in Aspen’s history. Original material from the silver era is far scarcer than the town’s later fame might suggest.
