Pandora, Colorado

Pandora is an unincorporated community located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Telluride in San Miguel County, Colorado.

The Rio Grande Southern railroad's Telluride branch terminated at the mills in Pandora.

The mill was allowed to remain open during the war due to the lead and zinc content of the ores processed there.

In recent years the Idarado company has been reclaiming the mill tailings, and residential development of the site is anticipated.

[5] There is a local effort, led by the Telluride Historical Museum, to preserve the old mill.
