A Brief History of Fairplay (Paperback)

Explore Fairplay from the beginning with local historian Linda Bjorklund as she traces the town s story through Spanish settlers, early American government, Union-Confederate tensions and modern development. Even though Fairplay s remarkable gold and silver boom was reduced to ash overnight in 1873, a strong community overcame history s challenges and preserved its treasures. From the popular annual Burro Days to the Way of Life Museum, Fairplay gives folks a chance to celebrate and relive its rich mining history through festivities and time-capsule buildings such as the general store, drugstore, bank, Summer Brewery and Summer Saloon.
