Breckenridge, Colorado, combines a modern four-season resort with a historic mountain town setting. Winter activities include alpine and Nordic skiing, ice skating, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, while warmer seasons bring golf, tennis, bicycling, hiking, music programs, and other events amid mountain scenery. The town offers lodges, hotels, condominiums, inns, bed and breakfasts, nearly 100 restaurants and nightspots, and hundreds of shops and boutiques. Travel within Breckenridge and Summit County is supported by trolleys, buses, cars, bicycles, walking routes, and a network of bicycle and pedestrian pathways. The town's history remains visible in about 250 historic structures that form a National Register Historic District, with most dating from the eight decades between Breckenridge's settlement as a mining town in 1860 and the shutdown of the last dredge mining operations in 1942. Visitors can explore this past through self-guided walks and guided tours, including sites such as the Exchange Building, Old Court House, Edwin Carter Museum, Father Dyer Church, Milne Historic Park, Colorado Mountain College, Saint John's Church, Saint Mary's Church, Barney Ford House, Theobald Office Building, the Masons Hall, and Finding Hardware Store.
