Victor, Colorado
A stereoscopic view of Victor from around 1907. A small mining town located in Teller County, Victor was famous for its gold mines. Due to a number of factors including the depletion of gold ore in the mines, the population quickly declined. At its peak, an estimated 18,000 people lived in Victor. As of the 2010 census, only about 397 people still live in Victor. This stereoscopic view was published and printed by B. W. Kilburn of Littleton, New Hampshire in 1907.
