Welcome to Cripple Creek Colorado.
First stop today is the Cripple Creek Heritage Museum.
This jail was pretty neat. They had men, women and kids in jail. In a gold mining town with more saloons, casinos and brothels than churches and schools I guess that's to be expected.
Went to a brothel today! Nope... Not kidding. Julie and David went with me. Pretty interesting museum. Prostitution was pretty prevolent in Cripple Creek back in the day. One working girls funeral drew 40,000 people. Some of them were revered.
