HISTORIC DENVER EVENTS

Welcome to Denver’s first skyscraper, a historic marvel that has stood tall since its completion in 1911. This iconic structure was originally the final piece of the Daniels and Fisher Department Store, and it proudly rises to a height of 375 feet. For nearly half a century, it held the title of the tallest building in Denver, until 1957. Today, it remains a cherished landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s architectural past and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Start your Valentine’s Day with a little romance, some scandal, and a whole lot of Denver charm. We’ll kick things off at Union Station with a hot beverage from our friends at Pig Train Coffee. From there, we’ll stroll through the heart of LoDo on a Valentine’s–themed tour packed with stories of love, intrigue, and a few eyebrow-raising tales from Denver’s past.

You’ll hear legendary lore, like lovers Horace and Baby Doe Tabor, whose dramatic relationship played out on a grand Colorado stage. We’ll dig into the truth behind the infamous Nude Duel and separate fact from fiction when it comes to what LoDo’s mysterious underground tunnels were used for.

It’s the perfect morning Valentine’s outing — historic, romantic, and just a little bit titillating.
