History

Silverthorne CO

 

Marshall Silverthorn came to town as a prospector in 1881. Unfortunately, he discovered that the gold in the area was sparse. His claimed land of the Blue River was inherited by his daughter, later to be only sold multiple times to mining companies. Clayton Hill bought the property in 1953 and subdivided it for homes and stores. 

The town of Silverthorne became a popular worker camp while the Dillon Reservoir was built. Later on, it was a great stop along I-70.
