Tabor Opera House

[1] Built by Horace Tabor, who went on to become the town's first mayor, it was the most costly structure in Colorado at the time, with materials being brought by wagons from Denver.

[4] The Tabor Opera House opened on November 20, 1879,[2][5][6] with its first production being a comedy called The Serious Family.

[7] A March 1880 newspaper announcement advertised Kate Claxton and her husband Chas A. Stevenson in a double-bill running six nights.

[16] The renovation of the building is overseen by a private non-profit society, the Tabor Opera House Preservation Foundation.

[1][2] There are currently fourteen theatre collections identified at the Tabor Opera House, scenery and stage machinery dating from 1879 to 1902.
