Fairplay Walking Tour

Following the 1859 discovery of gold, latecomers to the area established a new mining camp called Fair Play where all prospectors were welcomed. After several prosperous years, Fairplay became the county seat. Six 19th-Century buildings in town are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Park County Courthouse. These and other historic buildings are interpreted in the Fairplay Historic Walking Tour brochure. Copies of the brochure are available at the Fairplay Visitor Center at 100 4th Street. This interpretive center is also the entrance to South Park City Museum. The museum is a collection of period buildings depicting a mining town from the late 1800s.
