Join Lotus Network and Treasure Box Tours on Tuesday, September 26th to tour the history of the Highlands Neighborhood!

In the 1800s, when Denver was a polluted and uncouth boom town in a river bottom, a city rose above it all, blessed with clean air and high moral standards…at least, according to its brochures.  This was the city of Highlands, where the wretched city to the east could be forgotten and paradise found.  Highlands did enjoy decades of prosperity before an economic crash brought its in-the-clouds dreams to the hard ground.  Highlands fell so far as to be annexed into that much-hated neighbor.  Today, the Highlands is a greatly-desired neighborhood, predominantly because of one amenity that has remained from the 1800s.  Our walking tour will look at some of the houses and history of this fine part of town, high on its moral hill.
