Full description
In RiNo, you’ll not only enjoy the vibrant art scene but also delve into some of Colorado’s darker history. We’ll explore stories like the Sand Creek Massacre and Silas Soule’s efforts to uncover the truth, a 2022 shooting rampage by a misogynist, and a failed kidnapping attempt by a former Benjamin Paints employee targeting beer mogul Adolph Coors III.
We’ll also discuss Market Street’s shady past, where over 1,000 prostitutes once worked in the largest red-light district of its time.
If the group is interested, we can cover other major Colorado cases, such as JonBenet Ramsey, Columbine, Chris Watts, James Holmes (the movie theater shooter), Ted Bundy (who escaped from jail here), and Jack Gilbert Graham who blew up the first commercial airliner in the USA to kill his mother.
The tour is flexible and can be adjusted based on your interests, focusing on either true crime or general history and murals. We’ll also make stops for drinks and snacks along the 2-mile route.
