Then & Now

For more than a century, the Hamill House has stood as one of Georgetown's most recognizable landmarks. The historic photograph offers a glimpse into the house's early years, while the modern image reflects the care and preservation that have allowed this remarkable property to endure for future generations.

Today, visitors can step inside and experience Georgetown's rich Victorian heritage firsthand. Historic Georgetown, Inc. invites you to explore the Hamill House and other historic properties through guided tours that bring the stories of Colorado's silver boom era to life.

As a nonprofit organization, Historic Georgetown, Inc. relies on the support of members, volunteers, donors, and preservation advocates to ensure that Georgetown's remarkable history is not lost to time. Our mission is to preserve, protect, and interpret the historic buildings, landscapes, and stories that make Georgetown one of Colorado's most significant historic communities. We encourage you to learn more about our work, explore our historic properties, attend our programs, and become part of the effort to safeguard these irreplaceable resources.

Today, Historic Georgetown, Inc. is actively working to preserve and restore some of the community's most important historic assets, including the Centennial Mill, a powerful reminder of the industrial heritage that built Georgetown, and the Kneisel House, one of the town's oldest surviving residences. These projects require ongoing investment, planning, and community support. Your donation helps fund preservation work, educational programs, property stewardship, and the long-term care of the historic places entrusted to us. Together, we can ensure that Georgetown's history remains visible, accessible, and inspiring for generations to come.
