Our Mission

The Gold Camp Victorian Society endeavors to preserve the legacy of the Victorian era of the “World’s Greatest Gold Camp” by our attention to authenticity in clothing, manners and ambiance activities, and by our program of “Giving Back” where we assist other local, historical, and non-profit organizations with direct and in-kind donations.

 Here are some of the non-profit organizations in and around Cripple Creek that we support:

• The Historic Butte Theatre

• Teller Historic Environmental (THE) Coalition

• The Olde Homestead House Museum

• 2024 Donkey Derby Days Celebration

• The Two Mile High Club (caretakers of the Cripple Creek Donkeys’ since 1931)

• The Cripple Creek District Museum

We also sponsor several well-known historical events that directly promote the City of Cripple Creek:

• History Comes Alive! (Saturdays at noon in the summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day)

• Ambiance on Bennett Avenue every Saturday in the summer from Memorial Day through Labor Day

• Mt Pisgah Speaks (Annually, the second weekend in September)

Our members can be seen frequently around town as townsfolk dressed in Victorian attire and our beautiful parade float can be seen in our local parades as well.

We love to add the charm of yesteryear to all of our local Cripple Creek events.
