If walls could talk, Robinson would never shut up. Lucky for visitors, they mostly just stand there. Helen Ring Robinson (1878–1923), was an American suffragist, writer, and political office holder. She was the first woman to serve as a state senator in the United States and the first in the Colorado State Senate.

Summit County holds 13 documented ghost towns, including Chihuahua, Decatur, Dyersville — Robinson keeps them company on the map.

The story of Robinson

Colorado's high-country ghost towns sit at altitudes that would give a flatlander nosebleeds — silver camps killed by an 1893 vote in Washington.

Helen Ring Robinson (1878–1923), was an American suffragist, writer, and political office holder. She was the first woman to serve as a state senator in the United States and the first in the Colorado State Senate. She was elected in 1912 and began her service in the 19th Colorado General Assembly, when she was sworn in on January 1, 1913. She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 2014.
