Colorado Ghost Town Books/Maps
Silver Plume Colorado Townsite - Ghost town
I read about the 7-30 Mine and young man Griffith. After that I just had to see this town. Make sure you stop and get some of the homemade bread and soup.
The town is at a little over 9,000 feet and the air is starting to get thin so if you hike to the tombstone take your time. This is one of my favorites. In July of 2000 I hiked up to the Monument that the miners had built for their friend who played the violin. If you go take some water and take your time.
The best part of the town was the 2 young boys, about 8 or 10, with a homemade ramp (a board and a log) jumping their bicycles.
These pictures were taken in January of 2005.

When I was a little girl there was a soft copy book of Silver Plume, He was in the book, I can't find any info on this book or of him. Thanks in advance for any helpful info
A viewer writes - My great grandfather Frank Lorenzini and his wife Angelina came to live in Silver Plume in the late 1800s. My Grand Pa John Lorenzini also lived there. My dad Joseph John Lorenzini was born there. I came across your web site searching for more information on my family heritage. I here there is a book called the Italian Society of Silver Plume by Frank Fraucone and Kenny Wennsy. I would appreciate it if anyone knows how I might be able to get hold of a copy.
