The Old Homestead House is excited to see the return of Jack Dempsey Days 2026, celebrating 111 years since the "Manassa Mauler" made history right here in the Gold Camp.

From the weigh-in to the fights and the historic reenactment, it's a weekend packed with excitement, history, and a chance to step back in time. We think Pearl would have loved seeing the town buzzing with visitors once again!

While you're in town for the festivities, be sure to stop by the Old Homestead House Museum and hear the stories of the women, gamblers, miners, and characters who helped make Cripple Creek famous.

📍 Open Friday through Monday, 11:00 AM–5:00 PM
