The casinos in this old mining town attract fortune hunters today, just as the gold veins of Gregory Gulch did in 1859. Over two dozen casinos have been built here and in neighboring Black Hawk since 1991. The National Historic District includes Central City's entire downtown and the surrounding hillsides. You can stop at the Gilpin County Historical Museum for a look at the rough-and-ready days of Central City's gold mining era. The Central City Opera House, built in 1878, offers tours and still has full-scale operatic productions every summer. You can also tour the Thomas House (1894), a Greek Revival mansion that has many of its original furnishings and family belongings.
