Georgetown, once known as “Silver Queen of the Rockies”, is nestled among some of the West's most majestic peaks, Georgetown feels more isolated, and more at peace with the surrounding environment. If they made a movie about early mining towns, Georgetown could be the star.

In fact they have! Its downtown area has been the site for many movies with stars such as Ben Afleck, Danny Glover and Peter O’Toole. Singer, John Denver, made his TV movie, Gift of Christmas here. And if you looking for an old time railroad, you can truly step back in time with a trip on the historic Georgetown Loop Railway.

It has abundant Victorian style houses with iron hairpin fences and formal gardens, and if there were no cars it would look like another century. There are many homes and buildings rich in this architectural style. Georgetown offers a variety of unique shops, boutiques, restaurants, and overnight accommodations.
