Golden History Moment

Recent History: April 1, 2020 – Early in the Pandemic

Two years ago, we were under a State-Wide Stay-at-Home Order. The streets of Golden were eerily quiet. Patrick Klein was documenting “unpeopled” Golden. These shots were taken mid-afternoon.

On that day, Jefferson County had identified 339 “confirmed, probable, suspected, or under investigation” cases of COVID. There had been 6 COVID deaths in the County and 74 people were hospitalized for COVID.


Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
