Bill Lee will stop by the Astor House and teach our refined guests a little bit about the dirty work that built Golden City.

Over its 105-year working life, the Astor House saw many guests and boarders and each passing generation brought with it new forms of entertainment. Find out what’s “key” when singing a capella and join us as 4-Ever More conducts the audience through history as they perform everything from barbershop to jazz.

Golden Oldies: Tales and Stories from Golden's Early Days

Saturday, October 16

Luncheon 11:30 am &
Just Desserts 3:00 pm
It takes a certain kind of person to give up his livelihood and head west with hopes of making his fortune during the 19th century, and it takes an even more interesting person to stick around. At this tea you’ll hear a few of the memorable stories about Golden’s first residents as told by Jack Stone. If you’ve ever wondered the best way to fight a duel, take a lesson from George West, the Colorado Transcript founder who occasionally consumed a little too much at the bar but always had the brains to save his skin.
