Entry No. 37 — the Boulder file — filed under: haunted

Stage Stop (Historic Rollinsville Stage Station)

Built in 1868 — eight years before Colorado was even a state — this large red roadside building served as a toll stop for Butterfield Stage Coaches before most of Rollinsville burned to the ground in 1950; the Stage Stop didn't. Staff report two lingering residents: a young woman and a cowboy named Tom, the latter identified unprompted by a child who saw him sitting at the bar when no one else was there, and security cameras have logged orbs drifting past. The haunted walk-through runs seasonally in fall, but the bar operates year-round inside the same walls that have been standing since Ulysses S. Grant was president.

The move: Drive the 35 minutes west from Boulder on a weeknight, order something at the mahogany back bar that came overland from Missouri, and ask the bartender about Tom.

📍 Before you go Rollinsville sits on CO-72 (Peak to Peak Highway); the Stage Stop is a roadside building — street parking directly in front. No significant terrain. Fall haunted walk-through is a separate ticketed seasonal event; the bar itself is open year-round.
