We got some "ghosty" photos from a member before we remodeled the Astor House… what do you think of these?

Built in 1867, the Astor House is one of Golden’s oldest landmarks—and some say it holds more than just memories. For over a century, this former boarding house welcomed weary travelers, miners, and townsfolk, becoming a vital part of Golden’s community life.

Today, as the new home of Foothills Art Center, its walls continue to echo with whispers of history. Come explore our current exhibitions and visit the Astor House History Wall upstairs to uncover the stories of its past. Do you dare to visit? #AstorHouse #GoldenCO #FoothillsArtCenter #HauntedHistory #ExploreGolden #Ghosts #Haunted
