ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today we cover three (1859) ghost towns all within 5 miles of Golden, Colorado and all invisible!
Baden, Golden Gate City and Mt. Vernon
All three towns existed at the foot of their respective mountain "gate" or "road" - nothing you might be interested in walking or driving today.
An introduction to the towns (we will hear from them later), and where they are, and how you can see them today!
Thank you for coming!
