MORNING (9:00-12:00)
Presentation: The Ute-Ulay: The Mine That Made Lake City
Roadside Stop: Ute-Ulay Townsite, Mine, and Milling Complex
As the first patented mining claim in Hinsdale County – and with an estimated $12 million mined between 1874 and 1903 – the Ute-Ulay mining complex spurred regional development and powered Lake City’s economy for decades. Located three and a half miles from Lake City, this 12-acre site surrounding the Ute-Ulay is formerly known as the town of Henson.
This site demonstrates various eras of mining technology – from 1874 up to the 1980s. Structures that remain today include residential cabins, an assayer’s office, the mill, a blacksmith shop, a boarding house, a red-cedar water tank, the main headframe, and several additional historically significant structures.
Thanks to a unique partnership of local government, a private mining company, nonprofit organizations, and state and federal agencies, this area is being reclaimed as a heritage tourism destination to showcase mining history and offer outdoor recreational opportunities.
