Tuttle

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

Wesley Leroy Tuttle (December 30, 1917, in Lamar, Colorado – September 29, 2003) was an American country music and gospel singer and songwriter. He was briefly a member of The Sons of the Pioneers, he made a number of successful recordings and became well known for his numerous TV appearances on programs like Town Hall Partyand Hometown Jamboree In his latter years he subsequently turned to exclusively recording Gospel music

The on-the-ground condition of Tuttle is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Tuttle is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
