Tucked in the foothills of the soaring, rugged San Juan Mountains, Downtown Durango has a long connection to the Rockies. It is the forest headquarters of San Juan National Forest, a vast area covering almost 1.9 million acres. There's a definite Wild West feel to Durango, especially with its Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a railway dating to 1881. It was designed to transport gold and silver from the mountains; today it is a National Historic Landmark that takes tourists on scenic, educational excursions.
At the heart of Downtown Durango, you'll discover the Main Street Historic District, which contains more than 100 buildings built in the late 1800s. These include the Central Hotel, built in 1899; Woolworths, built in 1859; and Burns Bank, built in 1892. Today, this elegant district contains art galleries, gift shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Downtown Durango is also the location of several festivals and events, including the Snowdown Festival, the Durango Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival, and Music in the Mountains.
Downtown Durango is also a college town, home to Fort Lewis College. This public liberal arts college sits on a bluff overlooking downtown, and its mountain views are spectacular. Fort Lewis College, once a military fort, opened as a college in 1911. Other downtown destinations include the Durango Silverton Train Museum, the Durango Wildlife Museum, and the Powerhouse Science Center.
