The Gold Camp Victorian Society’s members are a fun loving group who are committed to preserving and sharing the history of the Cripple Creek Gold Camp with visitors to the area. Our members attend many local events and citywide celebrations in Cripple Creek and Victor while sporting their authentic Victorian era attire. We participate in the seasonal Donkey Derby Days and Christmas parades, and add Victorian era ambiance to many of the local street festivals. The Society also sponsors several authentic Victorian period events annually, such as the Victorian Ball, Victorian Teas and the Mt Pisgah Speaks Cemetery walk.
The members of the Gold camp Victorian Society perform entertaining and carefully researched character reenactments for private events. Each of our members have chosen one of the colorful personalities of the Cripple Creek Gold Camp to impersonate. When you invite us to come to your private event you will hear the stories of the lives of the people who made the Gold Camp famous. You will meet notable people such as Pearl De Vere, Doc Susie, Winfield Scott Stratton, Johnny Nolan and many more. Drop us a note at [email protected] and invite us to your party! We would love to entertain you and your guests!
Take a look around as you’re window shopping along the sidewalks on Bennet Avenue. Look! Over there! Are the gentleman and lady ghosts from yesteryear? No! They’re for real! Every Saturday afternoon in summer our members stroll the streets of Cripple Creek in Victorian period attire adding an ambience of gentler days to the background of the historic landscape. Casino visitors and tourists are always delighted with our long summer gowns and parasols, our top hats, vests and canes. Many folks walk along and ask questions about the “old days” as we stroll along together. Our hope is that visitors to the gold camp leave with the feeling that the people of Cripple Creek and Victor appreciate the folks who come to see our historic towns. AND we would just love to snap a picture with you!
