135 YEARS AGO
From the July 17, 1886 edition of the (Del Norte) San Juan Prospector:
SILVERTON STILL CELEBRATING 4TH.
Silverton is still celebrating the Fourth of July. The people of that burg never did know when they had enough.
The Durango Idea: At least 500 people of Durango visited Silverton on the 4th, 5th and 6th and spent an average of $20 each, outside of the $3.65 railroad fare.
