The Ghost Town Goes to College

Joseph Costa

King Features Syndicate

Series of photographs on Central City, Colorado a boom town of the 1800's that almost died out. The University of Denver acquired most of the town and preserved it as an old west town. Saloons, a famous opera house and other sites allow people to return to the old west and see what it looked liked and how the people lived.
