Polar Express Tickets
THE POLAR EXPRESS
Train Ride returns once again to the Colorado Railroad Museum! Sure to re-kindle the Christmas spirit in True Believers, THE POLAR EXPRESS
offers a unique, three-part theatrical extravaganza of Holiday Magic. Holiday Caroling and the “Hot Chocolate” song and dance kick things off each evening, performed in our newly renovated, heated POLAR EXPRESS
Pavilion. A ride to the North Pole aboard vintage coaches, pulled by an authentic, coal-fired steam locomotive, is next. And finally, visiting with Santa tops off the experience!
For 2022, two ticketing levels will be offered: Standard Seating and First Class. For Standard Seating, guests may purchase individual tickets for the specific number in your party. First Class seating is limited, and available for purchase only in tables for four. And, (NEW FOR 2022), we’re pleased to offer Discounted Pricing on all performances prior to Thanksgiving!
These tickets sell out (QUICKLY!) every year, and today is the first day to buy them, so jump on the chance and buy them while you can! BUY TICKETS HERE

Golden History Moment
150 Years Ago
While Golden was founded in June of 1859, in 1871 we decided to become more “official” by incorporating. Having done this, our Board of Trustees (what we now call “City Council”) set to work defining our City Ordinances. The October 4, 1871 Colorado Transcript included the most recent batch, “An Ordinance concerning offenses in the nature of misdemeanors.”
Article 1. Offenses against good morals and decency.
Section 1. Impersonating a police officer or town constable by wearing a star – fine up to $100.
Section 2. Public nudity or wearing garments not belonging to his or her sex or dressing lewdly or behaving lewdly or selling lewd books or pictures or performing lewd acts – fine $10-100.
Section 3. Inhumane treatment of animals – fine $3-50.
Section 4. Discharging a cannon or gun or setting off fireworks within the town limits without permission of the President of the Board of Trustees (equivalent to today’s Mayor) – fine $1-100.
Section 5. Driving or riding horses at unsafe speeds within the city limits – fine $1-100.
Section 6. Making improper noise, riot, disturbance or breach of the peace or using profane, obscene, or offensive language to any person – fine $5-100.
Section 7. Digging a hole, ditch, or drain within the town limits without permission of the President of the Board of Trustees (equivalent to today’s Mayor) – fine $3-25.
Section 8. Removing sod, stone, earth, sand,or gravel from any public property within the town limits – fine $5-25.
Section 9. Injuring or tearing up pavement or sidewalks – fine $3-50.
Section 10. Hindering or obstructing construction of pavement, sidewalk, or crosswalk – fine $10-50.
Section 11. Hitching a horse to or injuring an ornamental fence or railing, a tree, or a lamp post within the city limits – fine $2-100.
Section 12. Injuring or destroying a bridge, a firehouse, or any other town property – fine up to $100 plus payment of all damages.
Section 13. Helping prisoners of the town jail to escape – fine $5-100.
Section 14. Providing alcohol to a prisoner of the town jail – fine $5-100.
Section 15. Carrying concealed weapons (including knives and guns) or openly carrying weapons so as to excite fear in others – fine $5-35.
Section 16. Leaving horses or other animals attached to vehicles within town limits without securely fastening the horse – fine $3-10.
Approved Sept. 20th, 1871
(I wonder if it’s still illegal to wear garments not belonging to one’s sex?)
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
