Where Colorado's Legends Rest!

What do a millionaire who escaped slavery, a Civil War hero who defied orders, a governor whose legacy still sparks debate, and Colorado's greatest love story all have in common? They're all buried here, next to the Platte River!  Join us for a walk through Riverside Cemetery and meet the extraordinary people who turned Colorado's history into unforgettable tales:

Augusta Tabor – Colorado's Most Famous Heartbreak - She thought she'd found her happily ever after. Instead, she became the central figure in one of Colorado's most scandalous love triangles!

Silas Soule – The Man Who Said No - At a time when almost no one dared to speak up, this young Civil War captain refused an order that would have haunted him forever. His courage made him a hero... and may have cost him his life.

John Evans – Visionary or Villain? - He helped build Colorado, founded institutions that still shape the state today, and became one of its most influential leaders. Yet his legacy remains one of Colorado's most debated. 

Barney Ford – From Enslaved to Millionaire - He escaped slavery, outsmarted bounty hunters, struck out for the Wild West, and became one of Colorado's richest entrepreneurs.

Chin Lin Sou – A Railroad Builder Who Bridged Two Worlds - At a time when Chinese immigrants faced prejudice and discrimination, Chin Lin Sou earned the respect of an entire community. 

Come ready to be surprised! This isn't just a walk through a cemetery—it's a journey through 150 years of Colorado history, filled with remarkable people, unexpected stories, and fascinating discoveries.

Afterwards, we'll walk or drive over to nearby Himchuli Indian and Nepali restaurant to discuss all these incredible tales from the tombs. 2ndSummit will buy the appetizers!
