Breckenridge Walking Tours Offer a Slice of History for Your Romantic Getaway

Stressed?  Looking for a way to recharge your batteries in a scenic location?  Renting a cabin in Colorado might be just the romantic getaway you need to fall in love again.  Even if you only have time for a weekend getaway, Breckenridge Colorado is the place to go. 

breckenridge_romantic_getawayA weekend getaway in Breckenridge doesn’t need to revolve around skiing.  In fact, many visitors try to avoid Colorado during the winter months so they can enjoy other outdoor sports, like bicycling, hiking and whitewater rafting.  Or, perhaps you just want to relax in a romantic cabin, dine in one of Breckenridge’s fantastic restaurants and take a stroll around town.

A Breckenridge walking tour will give you the flavor of the Old West, a time when “gold fever” turned the town into a crossroads for miners.  Beautifully maintained structures represent the colorful 19th century past of this charming mountain town.

Taking a walking tour of Breckenridge together is a great way to start your romantic getaway weekend. 

Stop by the Welcome Center on Blue River Plaza and pick up a guide to the Breckenridge Historic District.  These printed guides contain a map and detailed information about the Victorian era-structures, enabling visitors to enjoy a walk through the district at their leisure. 

Be sure to visit the Alice G. Milne House (c. 1880) or the W.H. Briggle House (c. 1886).  You will also see the first homes ever built in Breckenridge, from town-log cabins to lavish high end residences. 
 
Another well known Breckenridge attraction is the Barney Ford House Museum, the home where Barney Ford, Breckenridge’s first black businessman once lived.  An escaped slave, Ford became a prosperous entrepreneur and prominent civil rights pioneer in Colorado. 

For your romantic getaway, Breckenridge offers more than just history.  It is also popular destination for fun-filled festivals, great restaurants, clean air and breathtaking scenery.  Why not plan your weekend getaway to Breckenridge today?

It is also nice to do something intellectual during a weekend romantic getaway. It is not just the relationship that is being rekindled but also the minds.
