The Historic District of Leadville is a delightful place to stretch your legs during your southern drive on Highway 24. There are about 20 landmarks on either side of Harrison Avenue running through downtown. Many of these buildings date back to the late-19th century when this was a prosperous mining town. One example is this Presbyterian Church with its red brick façade and lattice windows accented by a Gothic bell tower. The locals call it “The Old Church” because it was built in 1889.
