East Portal Cabins Preservation is under review for landmark status near Moffat Tunnel, which could unlock grants for restoration.
It was 1927 when McMechen concluded his epic tome of the Moffat Tunnel by writing, “The regrettable feature of the story told… is that all Colorado citizens could not envision the ultimate purpose, nor realize its state importance.”
This year marks the centennial of the cottages at East Portal and on Thursday night (May 18th at 6pm), we can write the next chapter of their incredible story.
The East Portal Camp Cabins at the Moffat Tunnel are being considered by the Gilpin County Historic Preservation Commission to be listed on the county’s historic register as a local landmark.
Designation would open up grant opportunities for these 5 cabins tucked away at the edge of wilderness that were listed in 2020 as one of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places.
