Westcliffe will be hosting its first annual Ghost Walk on Friday October 30th from 6-8pm. The event starts at the Jones Theater and will visit seven historic buildings with “ghostly” pasts. Participants are encouraged to come in Old West attire (optional) and area businesses will remain open until 6pm for holiday shopping. The tour will include visits to a former jail, hotel, mortuary, and other haunted sights. If you can’t make it to the event but would like to learn more about Westcliffe’s history visit their Chamber of Commerce for photos and brief stories about the buildings, characters, and events of Westcliffe’s wild west days.
