Guess Who

Masonville Colorado Town site - Ghost town

Masonville still has a sense of humor as you can see by some of the photos. It also needs a part time Post Master in case you are looking for a job.

A gold rush, that never really materialized, is what caused Masonville to be founded in the early 1890's. Speculation was high but actual results were less than spectacular. The rumors were so strong that it is said a preacher in Greeley told his parishioners that he was leaving right after the services to go  "hunt his honey" in Masonville. He also told the parishioners to leave on Monday so he would have a head start.
