The popular Historic Home and Building Tour will take place within the city from 1–4 p.m. Tickets for this event can be purchased at Twin Flame Gallery (102 S. 4th) and the Victor Artists’ Co-Op (southeast corner of 2nd and Victor Ave). A docent-guided interior tour will be provided at all the selected sites. Specific locations and addresses will be announced on https://www.victorheritagesociety.com/ and on Facebook.

On Sunday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. there will be a free Victor Walking Tour of downtown. The tour will have a special emphasis on the citizens who not only lived but helped form the history in Victor. All participants will meet in front of Victor City Hall to start the tour. The walk will end at 11 a.m. in Wallace Park to dedicate the newly placed walking tour sign and the historic Washington school bell by the Teller County WWII Memorial.

At 1 p.m. on Sunday, La Jean Greeson will be presenting “Gillett and Cameron, the Entertainment Towns of the Gold District” at the Cripple Creek Heritage Center (9283 South Highway 67, Cripple Creek).
