This weekend, September 19 & 20 let the Gold Camp Victorian Society introduce you to the people who made Cripple Creek famous!
This September, step beyond the pages of history and into the lives of the people who called the Gold Camp home during Mt. Pisgah Speaks. As you make your way through historic Mt. Pisgah Cemetery, you’ll encounter characters from Cripple Creek’s colorful past who will share their stories where they were laid to rest.
From well-known Gold Camp personalities like Doc Susie and Madame Pearl DeVere to the everyday men and women who helped shape life in the mining camp, each encounter offers a glimpse into a very different Cripple Creek.
Presented by the Gold Camp Victorian Society, Mt. Pisgah Speaks combines carefully researched historical portrayals with the atmosphere of a mountain cemetery for an experience that is part history lesson, part storytelling and just a little spooky.

Tours depart every 30 minutes from 9:30 AM–1:30 PM
Starting at the Cripple Creek District Museum, 510 E. Bennett Avenue
$20 per person
