Historic Walking Tours
There are 250 historic structures in Breckenridge, an old mining town founded back in 1860, making it one of the oldest surviving city in the Central Rockies. On the tour, which should be reserved ahead and meets at the Welcome Center at 11am, you'll visit old mines, miner's cabins, a saloon boarding house and a few museums too.
There's also an eerie Haunted Breck tour on which you'll learn about unexplained stories of bad old Breck.

Platte Valley Trolley
Ride the historic Platte Valley Trolley that trundles along its tracks from the REI store south to the downtown Denver area. The sights aren't much – mostly the same stuff you see in a short walk around the area – but the staff of history buffs are enlightening.

Denver Inside & Out
This outfit offers interesting historical walking tours based on the 1922 daylight robbery of the Denver Mint. They're cleverly done, with some of the robbers coming to life along the way, and mysteries and clues acted out in situ.
