About Us

The mission of the Leadville Main Street Program is to strengthen our community through historic preservation, economic growth, beautification, and the activation of public spaces to support a thriving downtown. As an Accredited Colorado Main Street Program, we are recognized as one of 26 Colorado communities that share a commitment to preserve and promote our historic downtowns.

Leadville is a distinct, historic community situated at 10,200 feet. Our rural and rugged location gives us exciting strengths and poses unique challenges. The Main Street program is designed to highlight our strengths and evaluate our challenges so that we can overcome them together to develop and support a thriving Main Street.

An active downtown provides economic opportunity for residents, access to goods, resources, recreation, and entertainment for locals and visitors. In addition, an active Main Street that preserves the character and history of the town, will develop a sense of connection and place for the whole community.
