Leadville’s Ice Palace

from Dr. History's Tales of the Old West · host Dr. Ken Turner

Once the richest mining town, the boom didn’t last. The citizens decided to build an ice palace to make money. Under one roof, an ice-skating rink, two ballrooms, a band, a restaurant, food concessions, paintings, sculptures, curling contests, speed skating, dance contests and ice hockey tournaments. It was a financial failure and with an early warm weather left it a pile of watery mush. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
