Welcome to Gold Hill

History and geography have made Gold Hill, Colorado, unique for 150 years. People like Gold Hill despite (or because of) the isolation from city life, and they live here despite (or because of) the quixotic climate at high altitude.

We have a strong sense of community here, with our historic school and town meeting forming the nuclei for activities and long-time friendship networks since mining days. Mountain folk have always gotten together to play music, perform plays, compete in games and to volunteer together to benefit Gold Hill. The purpose of this website is to enhance this sense of community through communication about events and current issues.

On December 31, 2009, we had a rather rare event; a Blue Moon occurring on New Year’s Eve. A Blue Moon is a second full Moon in a calendar month. This event will occur on New Year’s Eve only every 19 years; if you’re lucky and healthy you can experience this event again in 2028. This photo was taken from our Gold Hill home as our Gold Hill Blue Moon was setting at on 1/1/10 at 7:23 MST. To learn more about Blue Moons go to here.
