The snow was coming down yesterday when I rolled through Woodland Park. A stop at The Donut Mill for fuel was needed.😋

🚨Abandoned Delhi One Stop Store & Badlands Movie Spot...Destroyed (Delhi, Colorado). The Delhi One Stop was one of the first abandoned sites I came across many years ago when I decided to document historic and unique places throughout the state. Back then, the structure was in decent condition...with many items still left in the store and personal belongings still found in the attached house. I would swing by yearly to document the changes over time, and even put this location in my second published book. But now...it's all caved in.

Quick side note, the Delhi One Stop was briefly in the 1973 movie "Badlands"...starring Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen. A picture from that cameo scene is in the post (last picture).

Fast forward to now...and the entire front of the store/house has caved in. The Delhi One Stop has seen its last days.😪 Another structure lost...but not forgotten.

Location:
Highway 350 between La Junta and Trinidad.

🏠 The House That Emma Crawford Lived In. Emma Crawford is the inspiration for the extremely popular Emma Crawford Coffin Races in Manitou Springs each October. This is the house she lived in...and what the historical marker out front says:

"In Memory of Emma Crawford

Manitou’s most famous ghost and historical identity, Emma Crawford, moved here from New York in 1889 and lived in this house. She was an accomplished pianist who loved roaming these mountains. Unfortunately, Emma succumbed to tuberculosis, and her “special friend” Wilhelm Hildenbrand and twelve pall bearers honored Emma’s request to be buried at the top of Red Mountain. A heavy rainstorm in 1929 dislodged her coffin, and it slid down the mountain. In her honor, the popular Emma Crawford Coffin Races are held on the main street of Manitou Springs each October.

1863 – 1891"

📍Emma Crawford Home Location:
104 Capitol Hill Avenue
Manitou Springs, CO

Also pictured are Emma’s headstone at the historic Crystal Valley Cemetery and her relatively new memorial marker at Townhouse Sports Grill.

*Share this with someone that is interested in unique history and/or someone that plans to go to the Coffin Races this year.

🎯 Colorado Ghost Town - Turned Disc Golf Course: Russell Gulch (near Central City, Colorado). Russell Gulch is named after the man that found gold in the area circa 1859...William Russell. Once a booming gold mining town, Russell Gulch went belly up in the early 1900s. Today, a few residents remain. However, there is a spectacular frisbee golf course that cleverly includes several old structures from the past glory days.

The Ghost Town Disc Golf Course is private and can only be used by first contacting Brian. A Google search of the course name will get you the phone number. The cost is $10 per person...to play at one of the coolest and most unique disc golf course in the state!

📍Location:
190 Russell Gulch Road
Central City, Colorado
