Frisco Historic Park and Museum — Attraction in Frisco

So much history and interesting facts in one place- I am totally impressed. We also had Easter egg hunt today so it was super fun. This is what I found in the museum:

Frisco was originally founded in 1873 by Henry Recen, a Swedish immigrant and silver miner, when he built a cabin at the confluence of the Ten Mile Creeks. Recen was a stonemason by trade and laid bricks in neighboring Clear Creek County. After earning a $5,000 yield in Idaho Springs, he moved onto the Ten Mile Canyon in 1871. His brothers Daniel and Andrew joined Henry in America in All three brothers were successful miners, and by 1879 Henry had found the Juno Lode in Frisco. By 1882, the permanent population reached 250 with two railroads, many businesses, hotels, and saloons.

Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel and was the first safely manageable explosive stronger than black powder. Nobel obtained patents for his invention in England and Sweden in 1867. Originally sold as "Nobel's Blasting Powder", dynamite rapidly gained popularity as a safe alternative to gunpowder and nitroglycerin. Used to blast ore from the mine, dynamite came in the shape of sticks (8 inches long and 1 inch in diameter) with a fuse attached to a tiny explosive cap or "blasting cap" inside the stick. ' inside the stick. The fuse was it and when the flame reached the cap, a small explosion caused the dynamite to detonate. Some forms of dynamite did not have a fuse in them, so miners had to attach explosive caps to the sticks.

That’s all I found in Frisco...

We came here for the annual Frisco barbecue competition and it was a great time. A lot of people visit but it still feels very small town. I love the intimacy of smaller crowds when there are live performances. It almost feels like they're playing just for you. All of the food that we tried was delicious and the lines were really long but they moved pretty quickly. They were really efficient about trash making sure that everything was separated into recycles and food scraps and they even had buckets to dump the rest of your drink if you are going to throw it away. And everyone that I encountered was super friendly. It felt like a festival full of friends. I hope to come back maybe next year. They also have a free museum so you can learn a little bit about the local history. Highly recommend stopping by especially if you have...
