Historic Resource Study, Dutchtown and Lulu City, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

摘要

This report contains the histories of Dutchtown and Lulu City which were the product of a mining boom in the Rabbit Ear Range (now the Never Summer Mountains) in 1879. The histories of Dutchtown and Lulu City are of interest because they serve as representatives of an often repeated phenomenon, that of the boom town in the old West. An evaluation of the historic resources represented by Dutchtown and Lulu City, and recommendations for their interpretation and preservation are discussed. An on-site investigation and appraisal of the remaining physical evidence of Lulu City was conducted in order to evaluate the potential for the preservation and interpretation of the site. Photographic evidence of Lulu City and Dutchtown is presented in the Illustrations section.
