Hull City Colorado - Independence Colorado Ghost town
And you thought there was only one Independence Colorado. That is the problem with Ghost towns. There are probably more Ghost towns in Colorado named Independence. So far I have discovered only two.
This ghost town actually was named Hull City originally, then Macon and finally Independence. Winfield Scott Stratton became a millionaire because of the Independence mine. He is claimed to be the first Cripple Creek area millionaire. Lot’s to see and enjoy in this area including interpretive signs posted along a well maintained walking path throughout the area.
