ARTISTS OF EARLY ESTES PARK
The Artistic Legacy of Estes Park, Colorado
Estes Park, Colorado, became an early haven for artists due to its spectacular beauty, surrounded by the high mountains of North Central Colorado. Long before the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park was already gaining recognition for its stunning landscapes. Though the valley was home to many people, Lord Dunraven, a British citizen who could not own property through homestead laws, fell in love with the area. He began acquiring large tracts of land through surrogates, legally or not, and brought friends to hunt and fish in the fields and streams. Dunraven also invited artists to appreciate the area’s beauty.
Later, F.O. Stanley, the well-known inventor of the Stanley Steamer, came to Estes Park for health reasons and decided to make the area a tourist destination. He built the famous Stanley Hotel, which opened its doors in 1908. Stanley’s promotion of the area attracted more artists, further spreading the word about the majestic peaks and valleys.
Among the early artists who were drawn to Estes Park were Richardson Rome, Dave Stirling, Lyman Byxbe, and Charles Partridge Adams.
