“The small town with the big heart” truly characterizes
Aspen. This community surely has the most non-profit organizations
per capita. From the children to the environment the local people
always come together to support many worthwhile causes. That
is part of what makes this town a community.
Aspen is unparallel in opportunities from its scenic beauty,
to its endless activities and events. No matter what time
of the year you find yourself in Aspen you will find world
class sophistication and laid back fun. Aspen is dynamic and
has found ways to reinvent itself in down times. Her rich
history began with the settlement of the Ute Indians. Next
she became a Wild West, Silver Mining Town and now has matured
during economic downtimes into a World Class Ski Resort with
World Class Shopping.
Aspen began attracting great entrepreneurs as far back as
the 1880’s when The Wheeler Opera House, a hydro electric
plant, a stock market and telephone system were in place and
active. Those were quite impressive innovations for the times.
Take a trip through the Wheeler Stollard House on Bleeker
Street to fulfill you thirst for Aspen history.
