Colorado Antiques | Colorado Antique Malls
Colorado's rich history has resulted in one of the best places in the United States to begin your antique hunting.
From 1832 to 1856 a number of traders, trappers, and settlers including the French and the Americans established trading posts and small settlements along the Arkansas River, and on the South Platte near the Front Range. Prominent trading posts were Bent's Fort and Fort Pueblo on the Arkansas and Fort St. Vrain on the South Platte. The main item of trade offered by the Indians were buffalo robes.
During the gold rush, several parties of gold seekers bound for the California Gold Rush panned small amounts of gold from various streams in the South Platte River Valley at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in then western Kansas Territory, now northeast Colorado. The gold nuggets initially failed to impress the gold seekers, but rumors of gold in the Rocky Mountains persisted, and several small parties explored the region. In the summer of 1857, a party of Spanish-speaking gold seekers from the New Mexico Territory worked a placer deposit along the South Platte River about 5 miles (8 kilometers) above Cherry Creek (in what is today the Overland Park neighborhood of Denver).
The state's unique history affords antique hunters from all around the world the chance at a TRUE TREASURE!
