**South Park City Museum – Fairplay, CO**

Step back in time at South Park City Museum, a fun and fascinating outdoor adventure for the whole family! Located in Fairplay, Colorado, this museum is like a real-life history book brought to life. It’s a recreated 1880s mining town, with over 40 old buildings filled with more than 60,000 cool artifacts that show what life was like during the Gold Rush and Silver Boom.

Kids will love exploring the old-fashioned buildings, including a schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, a saloon, a church, and even a mine! You can peek inside a general store stocked with old-timey goods, see a dentist’s office, and discover how people lived, worked, and played over 100 years ago. There are wagons, mining tools, and even a train depot to spark young imaginations.

The museum is open from May to October, and during the summer, you might catch Living History Days, when friendly volunteers dress up as cowboys, shopkeepers, and townspeople to make the past come alive. There’s also a short movie in the old brewery that’s perfect for a quick break.

With wide-open spaces, friendly local cats, and plenty of hands-on history, South Park City Museum is a great place for families to learn, explore, and have fun together. It’s not just educational—it’s an adventure!
