Contributed by: Julie Patterson on 7/17/2008

Take a trip back 100 years ago to the days of old-time narrow gauge steam locomotives with a trip on the Georgetown Loop Railroad in August.

The Aurora History Museum is offering the day excursion to Georgetown and a trip on the railroad from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 2.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad features a railroad ride through the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and past the remains of several gold and silver mines, with open cars allowing an unobstructed view of everything along the line.

During the day, visitors also will have time to shop and tour Georgetown, see the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park, and more.

The cost is $62 ($48 Aurora residents) for adults and $52 ($40 Aurora residents) for children ages 6 to 15. The fee includes railroad excursion tickets. Lunch is on your own in Georgetown. Participants will meet at the Aurora History Museum, 15051 E. Alameda Parkway,prior to departure. To register for the Georgetown-Silver Plume Railroad Excursion, call 303-326-8650 or visit auroragov.org/recreation.
