1) Early History of Norrie and Stories of Gold
Format:
Document
Norrie, Colorado is a ghost town located in Pitkin County just outside of Basalt, Colorado on the Upper Frying Pan River. Claims were first taken around 1890 to 1900. Eventually, the town became a lumber camp and had a post office, school, and dance hall. In 1913, some reports say that the population was around 200; today, the last census noted 7 people living in the area. Some buildings and foundations still stand and can be seen today.
