Silver Plume
357 SQ. FT. |
The town of Silver Plume was named in remembrance of the silver found in the small mountain town during the mid-19th century. Silver Plume’s railroad was originally expected to continue onto Leadville. Instead the railroad ended up serving the mining camps between Denver and the small town. Today the famous Georgetown-Silver Plume train travels between the two towns, separated by two miles and an elevation difference of 600 feet.
