The Silver Plume Mountain Park Master Plan was developed in 2023 by THK Associates, Inc. after the Town of Silver Plume purchased =/- 200 acres from the Jack Pine Mining Claim lands. These lands, in addition to other lands already held by the Town account for the 265 acre Silver Plume Mountain Park. The lands will be protected in perpetuity with a conservation easement held by the Colorado Historical Foundation.

The purpose of this Master Plan was to provide a guiding document for the preservation and management of the area which includes structures and artifacts from approximately 100 years of mining history in the area. The Park captures one of the most well-preserved cultural landscapes in the region.

The Master Plan looks closely at the existing conditions of the site. Several regionally important operations such as mining and quarrying were conducted the Park boundaries and many of the sites have completed inventory forms per the National Registry requirements. As a part of this project, ERO Resources completed and additional four inventory forms of cultural resources within the project.

The Master Plan developed goals and values of the property, and then provides detailed information for additional development and conservation of the site including security of the artifacts and oversight and stewardship plans for the Park. Finally, implementation plans were developed to include project partners, time frames and conceptual budgets for improvements and available funding sources.

The Master Plan will be used as a guiding document for the Town of Silver Plume Mountain Park Commission as well as the Colorado Historical Foundation to maintain the historical integrity of the site, provide additional recreational and interpretive opportunities, and monitor and document the site in the future.
