About Preston
Preston is a ghost town in Summit County, Colorado, situated east of present-day Breckenridge in the corridor between the Jessie mine at Gold Run Gulch and the Jumbo mine.
The reference record for Preston is sparse, and visitors should arrive with modest expectations. What drew people here and what physical traces remain on the ground today are not well documented. The area's setting near historic mining operations suggests a utilitarian past, but the details of Preston's origins and lifespan have largely faded from the record.
