Then AND Now: The toxic ghost town of Gilman, Colorado. *I posted pictures of Gilman before this post...if you would like to see some views from the early 1900s.* From zinc to ghost town. Founded in 1886, the area was deemed to be toxic by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1984. Gilman workers and residents were forced to leave, with very little notice. Many belongings were left in homes, vehicles abandoned, and a legacy ended. *Entire property is private. Trespassers are prosecuted. . . .

Gilman, Colorado...a toxic ghost town you can’t legally explore...just happens to sit in one of the most stunning spots for fall colors. 🍂 Golden aspens surround the abandoned homes and buildings, creating an eerie mix of beauty and history. The video footage is from September 21, 2024 (taken from the road)...so there's plenty of time to plan a leaf peeping trip that includes this spot (from the road...don't trespass).🙂 . . . ------------------------------------------------- #coloradofanclub #
