Silverton & San Juan County
Historic material from Silverton and San Juan County, high in the San Juan Mountains, where silver and later gold mining sustained one of Colorado’s most isolated and enduring camps. Silverton was laid out in Baker’s Park in the mid-1870s, and the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande in 1882, followed by Otto Mears’ short lines into the surrounding mining basins, tied it to the wider world. This category includes San Juan County mining stock certificates, early photographs of cabins, mines and town, railroad material and local histories, among them Allen Nossaman’s signed three-volume history Many More Mountains. Each piece is described with its date, issuer and condition, and placed in the district’s long mining history. Material from these remote camps is scarce, and I am glad to answer questions about any of it.
