Paris Mill

Paris Mill
The Paris Mill, a well-known and cherished historic mining mill near Alma was named one of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places in 2004 by Colorado Preservation Inc.

The facility was built to stamp and crush gold ore during the mining boom of the late 1800’s.  It was last used during the 1970’s by the Mount Bross Mining Company to re-process old mine waste piles.

“Among hundreds of properties and structures evaluated in a 1996 study of the region’s heritage resources, the Paris Mill was ranked as the highest preservation priority in South Park,” according to Gary Nichols, Park County Community Development Director.

The Alma Foundation is working with Colorado Preservation Inc. as well as numerous other organizations and individuals to save the Paris Mill, which is currently owned by Park County
