Colorado Gold Rush
GOLD! THE NEWS TRAVELS FAST. From the discovery of gold near Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, the state of Colorado grew—and within it the capital city of Denver. Denver International Airport, History Colorado, and the city of Denver are proud to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the rush to the Rockies with the exhibition COLORADO GOLD RUSH. This exhibition form History Colorado commemorates the anniversary of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1859. Exhibit panels reveal the miner’s life, the gold region’s boom and bust, and the role of mining today. Surviving documents and photographs bring the past to life, telling of the events that gave birth to Colorado. Guidebooks and maps show the routes emigrants followed and the supplies they needed for survival. Prospectors’ letters and diaries speak of failure, loneliness, longing, love, and humor. Photographs capture the gold rush’s dramatic impact on the land. COLORADO GOLD RUSH exhibition is on display on the walkway between the terminal and A Gates before the security screening area and is accessible for everyone’s enjoyment.
