An interesting look back at Breckenridge's early days. Tour the 1882 home of escaped slave, entrepreneur & civil rights leader Barney Ford.

Born into slavery in 1822, Barney Ford endured racism, claim jumping, fires and financial hardship to become one of Colorado’s most prominent businessmen of his time. Ford commissioned his Breckenridge home in 1882 on a prominent downtown property. Today, the Barney Ford House has been restored to its original Victorian style.
