I’ve been reading the “Looking Back” history columns for five decades, exchanging newspapers with The Weekly-Register Call, the oldest historic newspaper in Colorado started in 1862. We purchased this Gilpin County newspaper on Sept. 1, 2021, with offices in Central City. This newspaper joins the Villager Media Group. To this day, I don’t think the …
