Leadville initially began as a mining settlement much like many other local towns but was officially founded in 1878. Rich veins of silver and gold brought droves of prospectors and hopeful settlers to Leadville in search of prosperity and soon after, a town developed to provide basic functions for these dedicated miners. Unlike many of the other mining towns, Leadville continues to thrive as a first-rate city in the mountains, while others lay abandoned.

Leadville has a rich history that can only fully be grasped when you rent an RV in town. When you book an RV in Leadville, you are greeted with historical landmarks, stories of old western folk heroes that once lived or worked in town, breathtaking natural beauty, and a myriad of other simple pleasures. Don’t forget to look into one of the town’s many annual events, like the Boom Days Festival, an homage to the town's mining past. This event goes on for three days with awesome food, fun rides, games for kids, and lots of entertainment.
