Gilman is an abandoned mining town in southeastern Eagle County, Colorado, United States.

It was abandoned in 1984 by order of the Environmental Protection Agency because of toxic pollutants, including contamination of the ground water, as well as unprofitability of the mines.

On February 27, 2008, the Minturn Town Council unanimously approved annexation and development plans for 4,300 acres (6.7 sq mi; 17 km2) of Ginn Resorts’ 1,700-unit Battle Mountain residential ski and golf resort; Ginn's Battle Mountain development includes much of the old Gilman townsite.

[6] The town sits at an elevation of 8,950 ft (2,730 m) on a dramatic 600-foot (180 m) cliff above the Eagle River on the flank of Battle Mountain.

In the 1880s, Clinton acquired a number of mining operations in the vicinity, including the profitable Iron Mask, noted for its numerous caverns with crystal formations.

The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad reached the mining camp of Belden at the base of the cliff in 1882.

The New Jersey Zinc Company entered Gilman in 1912, and over a period of years bought all the principal mines and the entire townsite.

The town experienced labor strife several times in the 1950s, partly inflamed by the out-of-state corporate ownership.

The main shaft elevators still sit ready for ore cars, permanently locked at the top level.
