The Lyons Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to our
amazing town. Nestled in the foothills of northern Colorado,
Lyons is known as the Double Gateway to the Rockies thanks to
our unique location and natural beauty. When you come to Lyons
as a visitor or as a new resident, you’ll quickly fall in love with our
restaurants, shops, festivals, and beautiful parks. We may be a bit
biased, but we think that you’ll find treasures in our little town
that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. From tubing and
whitewater kayaking right in the middle of town in the beautiful
St. Vrain river, to world-class hiking, biking, and fishing, to
old-fashioned community events, intimate summer concerts in
Sandstone Park, and internationally-renowned music festivals at
Planet Bluegrass - it’s all here in Lyons.
While we are a small mountain town, our business community
is vibrant and growing. Our businesses work together to build
and sustain a strong local economy. We take pride in our homegrown coffee shops, the delicious and organic food in our small
grocery markets, our artist and music studios, antique stores,
gift shops, casual and fine dining, top-ranked schools, our quaint
museum, and more. Walk along Main Street, High Street, and
Broadway to explore what Lyons has to offer - you may end up full
of great food, drink, and collectibles, but we promise you won’t be
disappointed.
We are so fortunate to live in this little intersection of mountain
and river paradise, but sometimes... living in paradise has its
costs. Lyons discovered this in September, 2013 as our beautiful
St. Vrain river swelled and flooded our town. We watched as the
river washed through whole neighborhoods, destroyed our roads
and infrastructure, and created “islands” within our town. Most
of us sadly evacuated for several months as the town government,
FEMA, the National Guard, and our utility partners worked
feverishly to rebuild enough for us to come home. Recovering
from a natural disaster takes time, hard work, money, and most
importantly, resiliency. We may have become overly familiar with
shovels and sand bags, but around here, we say “Lyons, Co. We’ve
Got Grit!” Join us in our ongoing recovery efforts by volunteering
some of your time and talents and by patronizing our hardworking businesses. Visit the Redstone Museum to learn more
about the history of Lyons, and our recent historic flood.
On behalf of the Lyons Area Chamber of Commerce and our
members, I welcome you to our special town as a daytripper,
wedding guest, or new neighbor.

Lyons is located at the confluence of the North and South St.
Vrain Rivers. And at the intersection of two canyons bearing the
same names; twenty miles east of Rocky Mountain National Park;
13 miles northwest of Boulder; 9 miles west of Longmont.
About 2,000 people live within the town and several thousand
additional neighbors live close by in the canyons and on the
foothills of unincorporated Boulder County.
The climate is unbelievably mild. As the locals say, it’s about five
degrees cooler than surrounding areas in the summer and about
five degrees warmer in the winter. Summer breezes coming down
Continued on page 6

the canyons and winter warmth emanating from
heat-absorbing sandstone cliffs give Lyons a uniquely
temperate micro-climate.
Lyons’ elevation is 5,374 feet above sea level. We’re
also 8,885 feet below the summit of nearby Longs
Peak.
In the 30-mile north/south span between Boulder
and Loveland only four canyons have roads that permit
access to the High Country. Two of them funnel traffic
right through Lyons, which is located dead center
between Loveland and Boulder. Traffic on Main Street
and Broadway, heading to and from the High Country,
averages on an annual basis 15,000 cars a day – with
the heaviest loads on summer weekends.
In addition to tourists, this traffic flow includes
a daily migratory stream of drivers who live in the
mountains above Lyons and travel to and from
employment and other activities in Denver and other
nearby population centers.
Every town has hallmarks, some of ours are: every
summer baby eagles hatch in the cliffs within town
and learn to fly over our rooftops; in the spring a herd
of elk descends from the surrounding hills; there is a
Community Foundation to help our generous people
engage in responsible philanthropy; a comprehensive
health delivery system consists of a fully-staffed
local clinic, a pharmacy, physical therapists and
practitioners of non-traditional medicine – all of
whom collaborate enthusiastically to protect the
community’s health.
And then there are the community volunteer
groups. Such as The Lyons Garden Club, formed in
2008 by three local women who wanted to beautify
the town of Lyons through the power of flowers. They
first began with a prominent spot in town known as
the Mushroom Planter (since renamed to the Butterfly
Planter). These intrepid women cleaned up the planter
and enhanced it with plants from their own gardens.
From this humble beginning, the Lyons Garden Club
has quickly grown in size and has since transformed
many of the public garden areas in the town of Lyons.
Another, Lyons Volunteers, formed under the
efforts of the Town of Lyons and Edward Kean after
the September 2013 floods. Its purpose is to bring
volunteers and resources together to rebuild Lyons.
Every Saturday, Lyons Volunteers meets at 9 am at
Lyons Depot, where they organize, equip, and “deploy”
Lyons Volunteer teams into the Lyons area to assist
with pre-organized volunteer work.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The Lyons Area Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer nonprofit organization which represents over a diverse membership
of businesses and individuals from the local and surrounding
area. Our Mission Statement is to support an economicallydiverse business environment and enhance quality of life by
promoting the economic, social, cultural, and environmental
sustainability of the greater Lyons Area.
One of the benefits to member businesses is this LyonsFirst
Guide Book. Each member business in Lyons is listed in the
business directory at the end of the Guide Book, and member
businesses enjoy advertising opportunities throughout the
book. For this 2016-2017 printing, we are fortunate to be able to
leverage grant funding from the Office of Economic Development
and International Trade (OEDIT) to include all Lyons businesses
in the directory, as well as distribute the LyonsFirst Guide Book
over a wider area in the Front Range region. The Guide Book can
also be accessed online at our website, www.lyons-colorado.com.
The Chamber of Commerce is an excellent resource to learn
about the community of Lyons, shopping, dining, and enjoying
all that our town has to offer. The Chamber supports members
by sponsoring events, fundraisers, ribbon cutting, feature
articles in the local newspapers, support with press releases, and
networking at our socials. Through our presence on the internet
and Facebook, we inform the public about our business member
and community events and local non-profits. We provide a first
stop for inquiries about our community by local area residents
and visitors alike. You can find us in the Town of Lyons Visitors
Center or at www.lyons-colorado.com.

The Lyons Community Foundation (LCF) is the philanthropic
cornerstone for Lyons, Colorado. Our mission is to improve the
quality of life, build a culture of giving and encourage positive change
in the Greater Lyons area. We connect people who care with causes
that matter, funding direct grants that support the unique needs of
the town and its residents.
LCF Community Support Grants include projects such as:
•public health and human services
•education and youth enrichment
•parks and recreation
•volunteerism
•public art, music and cultural events
•historic preservation
•animal welfare
•environmental sustainability, local ecology, and landscape
beautification
LCF is committed to helping the town of Lyons recover from the
devastating floods of 2013. The Rebuild Lyons Fund has awarded over
$1.3 million in grants to help area residents and the town in recovery
efforts. Ongoing work supports rebuilding, recovery and resiliency
efforts focused on human services, parks and recreation and volunteer
resources.
The LCF Scholarship Funds support local youths in their ambitions
to pursue higher education. There are currently seven scholarships
awarded on an annual basis to local students presenting strong
leadership and academic abilities.

visit www.lyonscf.org or call 720-29LYONS. The Lyons Community
Foundation is a fund of the Community Foundation serving Boulder
County, a 501C-3 nonprofit.

The Lyons Regional Library District was
created in September, 2013 to build and
operate a new library/community resource
center. Tax funding for the District was
passed on Nov. 4th, 2014. The library district
is governed by a separate board of trustees
appointed by the Town of Lyons, Boulder
County and Larimer County.
Because of the devastating flood in Sept.
2013 the Lyons library is in a temporary
location at 405 Main Street.
The Lyons Regional Library District Foundation has been established and approved by
the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization to accept tax-deductible contributions for the new and
up-coming library and community resource center. Contributions, which will be matched
dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 due to a generous pledge by a local family, may be sent to
Lyons Regional Library District Foundation, PO Box 619, Lyons, CO 80540
The library in Lyons has taken many forms in the past and will again in the future. It
has been and will continue to be an integral part of the Lyons area. Libraries are no longer
just places to read and take out books, although promoting literacy is still a key function.
Our library is committed to adapting to the community’s needs now and in the future by
being flexible and providing a broad range of services. Regardless of the form the materials
take (from clay tablets to smart electronic devices) the core values of a library remained
throughout history.
The core values of most libraries, and ours is no exception, include:
• Protecting and promoting intellectual freedom - Intellectual freedoms include the right
of library patrons to read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by our
nation’s First Amendment. This remains true even if that opinion might be considered
unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability
of those viewpoints to all. This means libraries are constantly fighting censorship
of materials so that everyone is able to read materials of their own choice, listen to
what they want, and voice opinions freely. Our society must stand against groups or
governments that seek to limit our freedoms. This is still an issue as books and materials
are still being challenged and banned. According to the American Library Association
(ALA) a challenge is defined as a formal, written complaint, filed with a library of school
requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness. A banned
book is a book that has been removed. Challenging and banning books is a practice that
is alive and well in the United States and the entire world. Libraries advocate for and
strive to protect your freedoms
• The privacy of our patrons - We don’t care what you read, what music you listen to, or
Continued on page 12
11
what you watch. It’s none of our business and
it is certainly nobody else’s business. When
you’ve been in the library, if you’ve been in
the library and how long you were doing and
what you were doing in the library is only your
business. We protect your right to privacy.
Like a journalists who protect their sources
librarians protect the privacy of our patrons.
We don’t keep information on what you read
or watch and put the patron in control of the
history of your materials. We also are careful
to delete and protect your electronic privacy as
well. On electronic devices privacy can never be
guaranteed but we do strive to erase personal
information and documents so that patrons
can feel secure coming to the library to apply
for jobs, write love letters, or check their social
media.
• Rationalism - Free and equal access to
information provides people with the ability to
make decisions based on evidence and reason.
This is important in every aspect of our lives
as we socialize, vote, decide what careers to
follow, where to live, and conduct ourselves in
general. While we are all humanly emotional
and opinionated library resources have the
ability to provide information which is the
basis of rational thought and behavior. This
information could take the form of scholarly
articles from academic databases or a book or
movie that gives us new directions of thought
through the power of storytelling.
• Informing and Empowering the electorate in a
Democracy - In a passionately engaged area
with so many important issues both local and
national it is hard to stay informed. We exist
to provide information-based materials so
that patrons may stay informed and feel like
a valid part of the democratic process. This
may be providing access to a recent article in
a national magazine or a local newspaper. Or
providing the biography of a politician. Or this
could mean simply showing someone where
to find a valid copy of our Constitution on the
internet. The library is a political-free zone.
While we are here to provide information we do
not provide opinions to our patron population.
The library strives to be a calm and judgment
free zone where people can seek what they need
to empower themselves to participate in our
democratic processes.
• Literacy - This is a huge determinant of later
well-being for individuals, and ultimately for
the economy and for community social and
economic life. Our library strives to provide
opportunities for literacy in our community
regardless of anyone’s age or ability. This
includes our English-as-a-second language
population. We have patrons whose original
languages include, for example, French, Russian
and Spanish. There are many more languages
and cultures represented in this area as well.

The Town’s old schoolhouse, built in 1881, was originally one room.
Soon the town boomed, due to the quarry industry started by Edward
Lyon and associates, and it was expanded to four rooms and two stories.
Its facade is an excellent example of the best of local stonemasonry and
the durability of the local red sandstone. The Lyons Historical Society
saved it from the wrecking ball, restored it, and opened it in 1979 as the
town’s Redstone Museum. It is maintained as a three-way lease between
the St. Vrain School District, the Town of Lyons, and the Lyons Historical
Society.
The collection depicts the history of the Lyons area in displays,
photos, and genealogy. Visitors can walk the three aisles of black and
white photographs, depicting Lyons in the early 1900s. Special exhibits
and collections include arrowheads, insulators, old bank teller cage,
household items, business furniture and tools. Archives include family
history, graduation lists, cemetery lists, oral history, and town business,
including area parks, clubs, commerce and more. It offers for sale old
books, local area history books and DVDs, plus a small gift shop. Free
admission; donations appreciated. Open daily June 1 thru Sept. 29.
Hours are Mondays thru Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sundays
12:30 to 4:30 p.m. 340 High Street. For more information call 303-8235271 or 303-823-5225.
The museum is undergoing exterior restoration work funded by the
State Historical Fund, The Town of Lyons, The St. Vrain School District,
various fundraisers, and donations. Donations can be mailed to Lyons

The Stone Industry
in Quarry Town, Colorado
Over the years local stone was used by local people to
build local buildings. That’s natural and logical. It is only
part of the story – the obvious part. The rest of the story
is astonishing: stone from Quarry Town, Colorado was
used to construct major public buildings and elite private
residences in New York, Boston, Washington DC and other
big cities in the East! The sandstone our quarrymen have
been pulling from the earth for over a century has been
used on fine, enduring buildings throughout the world. The
reason? Unlike much of the sandstone quarried elsewhere
on this planet, our stone has distinct advantages: it is very
hard, fine-grained, structurally strong and exceptionally
durable.
Contractors and architects know Lyons Sandstone is
inherently beautiful, maintenance free and incredibly
long-lasting. It can be cut and split to incredibly close
tolerance and requires no surface finish to protect against
the weather. This makes it the ideal construction and
decorative material to use indoors and out on buildings
designed for a long lifespan.
Local quarryman Mike Loukonen compares them to
more transitory commercial buildings and says, “Colleges
and churches are prime customers for Lyons stone. Those
institutions have a deep sense of history. So they build
their buildings to last.” That’s why Lyons Sandstone was
recently used to build two monuments that will remain on
the forefront of our nation’s consciousness for generations:
the 9/11 World Trade Center Memorial in New York and
at the memorial at the site of the 9/11 crash of United
Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
In addition to its presence in historic buildings,
throughout Lyons you will see our rock used creatively
in many ways, including building blocks, retaining walls,
patios, sidewalks, lawn furniture and public artwork of all
sizes distributed throughout the town.
Much of the sandstone art was created and donated by
the Vasquez family and Blue Mountain Stone. In a 2007
interview, Manny Vasquez said the most fun he has from
the business is to drive by completed projects that have
artfully integrated Lyons Sandstone with architecture,
like the 29th Street Mall in Boulder.
Speaking of public art made from sandstone he said,
“After all the years of hard work, we are now able to give
back to our community and make our little town a little
nicer to look at.”
Lyons Sandstone was first recognized as construction
material in 1873, when Chester Smead, an early settler,
quarried the first rock from what is now Meadow Park. He
shipped it to Longmont for use as a sidewalk to connect
Central School with the Congregational Church.
Quarrying remained a sideline business for the early
21
farmers. Then, Edward S. Lyon purchased some land
to raise crops and cattle. Examining the sandstone
outcroppings on his property, he concluded that rock
could be more valuable than cabbage and beef. Within
a year Farmer Lyon had become Quarryman Lyon. His
rock crop generated such high demand that the Denver,
Utah and Pacific Railroad opened national distribution
channels by installing a new track from Lyons to the
Longmont railhead.
Soon the quarry business was booming. Lyons
Sandstone began to pave sidewalks in rapidly developing
Eastern and Midwestern cities. Our community was on
its way to becoming Quarry Town, Colorado.
By 1890 hundreds of miners worked for seven different
quarry companies in the Lyons valley. Our unique red
stone was on its way to being used all over the world. Lyons
quickly developed into one of the largest stone producing
areas in the United States. Other quarries named Beech
Hill and Nolan were opened northeast of town.
Today the Lyons stone industry continues to be a small
group of family owned quarries and stone yards. Most
concentrate on wholesale distribution.
Some have been handed down through several
generations. Loukonen Brothers Stone, the oldest of

the group, was founded by John Gust Loukonen, a
tanner by trade, who crossed the Atlantic from Finland
in 1890. Stopping first in Minnesota, he learned of the
stone business in Colorado, and moved to Beech Hill. In
1895, Loukonen purchased the quarries on Beech Hill for
$10,000, an enormous sum in those days.
Nevertheless, he and his quarry were so productive
that he was able to pay for his investment in under 2 years.
Today the family business is operated by grandchildren
Mike, Dean, Ken, Kathy, Cynthia and John.
In the 1920s, recently invented concrete emerged as a
construction alternative, undercutting the popularity of
Lyons Sandstone. According to Dean Loukonen, “Cement
nearly blew out the bottom of the stone business from
the 20s until the post-war building boom of the 40s. Then
things went back to normal.” Even with that temporary
slump, the stone business is the historic lifeblood of
this community. Referring to his father and uncle, the
legendary Leonard Loukonen and his brother Reino,
Mike recalled, “My dad and uncle always looked out for
the working people. During tough winters, when there
was little activity in the quarry, they carried many of them
financially. In fact, a number of the stone companies and
stoneworkers in Lyons got their start from my father
and uncle. Our family traditions seemed to become
community traditions.”
The brothers acknowledge the industry is changing.
There was a time when each quarry shipped trailer
load after trailer load each day to construction sites
throughout the nation and the world. Now the emphasis
may be shifting to lower volume for more decorative
and refined uses. Lyons quarrymen, long known for
their innovation, are beginning to apply technologies
long used on marble and granite. They intend for this
approach to generate new uses of Lyons Sandstone with
a greater range of uses and even higher perceived value.
The tradition continues.

By Charles Keim
Red rock formations surrounding Lyons are the remains of ancient sand dune deposits. This massive
legacy of prehistoric times is named the Lyons Formation. Because of its utility and enormous financial
value, in both a physical and economic sense the roots of Lyons are set deep in sandstone. Nature structured
the local stone formation in layers. That makes it possible for the quarrymen of Lyons to easily extract slabs
of varying thickness for use as building material.
Quarry Town, Colorado
Sandstone from the Lyons Formation built many of the most notable and historically significant
buildings in town.
For over a century the Lyons’ Hallmark has been local stone erected by local craftsmen – a combination
of geologic material and superb skill for which our community is known.
Demonstrating post-Civil War construction techniques, fourteen notable structures are situated within
the town’s borders; the remaining four are close by. Originally mercantile buildings, liveries, a dynamite
storage shed, an old schoolhouse, residences and a bar or two, their initial purpose evolved into current use
and their historic significance grew accordingly. Primarily made of Lyons Sandstone, mostly within walking
distance of each other, they are part of Lyons’ everyday life in 2010 just as they were a century ago.
Following are photos and descriptions of historic buildings we regard as timeless tributes to the
quarrymen and stonemasons who built, and who continue to build, our community.
Dynamite Storage Building, 1890
(427 High Street) This small sandstone
block building was once used to store
dynamite for the quarry workers. During
another period a chemical mixture was
processed in the building to produce the
gas that was piped throughout town to fuel
gaslight fixtures.
Lyons Schoolhouse, 1881
(338 High Street) On the northwest corner
of 4th and High (340 High) stands the twostory partly sandstone, 1881 school, used
for classes until 1977. A 30’ x 40’ stone
building was one of the first projects of Mr.
Lyon, the building to serve as school and
church.
Bradford Homestead, 1870
((South of Lyons) This small homestead,
located on the old Bradford farm, was once
a stagecoach stop that was well known for
its cherries, apples, and beautiful irises.
This building is now owned by the town of
Lyons.
Lyons Community Church
(1905 Main Street) The little white church
on the corner, now in its second century, is
not only a place of worship. In recent years
is has emerged as a gathering place for
meetings, concerts and other community
events.
23
Old Stone Church, 1894
(4th and High Street) Built in 1894 for
$3,147 using sandstone quarried from the
nearby canyon walls, this was one of the
first of Lyons’ landmark buildings listed in
the National Register of Historic Places.
Chisholm Home, circa 1890
(425 Seward Street) Once used as an old
blacksmith shop and small residence, the
full structure has been converted to living
quarters for the current occupant. The
building features a highly effective early
form of insulation based on logical design
– it is constructed with dual stone walls 18
inches thick, with an air pocket between.
Montgomery School,1917
(Ute Highway (66) and N. 53rd Street)
Built in 1917 by the Loukonen and Gross
families, this old building has 14-inch thick
walls and was used as a school until the
1950s. It is now a private residence.
Crona Building, circa 1895
(431 Main Street) Physician E.S. Crona
constructed this building to house his family
upstairs and his Longs Peak Drug Store on
the street level. Renovated in 2009-2010,
the original wooden balcony has been
replaced by a metal one.
Lyons General Store, 1884
(426 High Street) It was originally the home
of town founder E.S. Lyon, then became T.J.
Thorne’s General Store with a blacksmith
and wagon shop located on the east side
of the building.
McAllister Saloon, 1881
(450 Main Street) Once a popular saloon,
the building has served several different
uses while still retaining two much loved
oval paintings by Newt Thomas, a well
known 1890s Lyons artist. Look carefully at
the art, carefully preserved on the building’s
west wall, and you’ll note a bullet hole in
one painting – the result of a gunfight that
broke out over a hundred years ago.
Jensen Home, circa 1890
(413 Seward St) This small two story home
built from local stone has always been a
private residence. Beautiful and unique,
it demonstrates the combination of fine
craftsmanship and Lyons sandstone.
The Original Livery,circa 1890
(418 High Street) The core of this building
was constructed by E.S. Lyon, the founder
of Lyons. In the years that followed,
subsequent additions and alterations
changed its appearance.
Turner-Stevens Building, 1917
(401 Main Street) Named after banker
Marvin Turner and garage owner C.E.
Stevens this building was built in 1917 to
house the Bank of Lyons. In 1921, O.J.
Ramey became associated with the bank
and it became the State Bank of Lyons
which operated until 1930s.
Montgomery Home, circa 1890
(409 Seward Street) Another unique home
built by Lyons stonemasons from sandstone
quarried from the hills above town, this
building has been a private residence ever
since it was constructed.
On April 29,1980, fifteen of the listed sites have been designated by the Colorado Historical Society and
the United States Department of the Interior as a Historic District. The shelter house in Meadow Park
was recently added, making sixteen. Please respect the owner’s privacy when visiting the historic sites,
view only from the street. For more information visit the Lyons Redstone Museum.
24
Sites Milk House, 1885
(4089 Ute Highwy) John Sites, one of the
first farmers of the St. Vrain Valley, operated
a dairy east of Lyons. His milk production
was cooled by spring water that ran right
through the milk house into a raspberry
patch on the other side of the building. The
old Milk House is now on private property.
General Store, circa 1890
(415 Main Street) This two story building
originated as a general store with private
living quarters upstairs, and still functions
as combined work and residential quarters.
Evans Homestead, 1870
(500 West Main Street) The Evans
homestead is a former stagecoach stop
and inn for travelers between Boulder and
Estes Park. The large stone building sits in
the embrace of massive red cliffs along a
curve of the North Saint Vrain River. Rebuilt
after near-destruction by fire the historic
stagecoach stop is located in the center of
the Planet Bluegrass grounds.
Lyons Depot, 1881
(430 5th Avenue) This building was the
old depot where trains deposited Front
Range residents for summer picnics in
Lyons’ Meadow Park or for a day’s outing
in secluded glens along the river. The depot
was also the transfer point for train travelers
who then boarded a fleet of old Stanley
Steamer autos for trips up the canyon to
Estes Park. Currently under restoration due
to September 2013 flood.
The Shelter House, circa 1930
(Meadow Park) Built using river rock,
cement and a wooden frame, the shelter
house used by visitors to Meadow Park.
During the September 2013 flood, the
structure was destroyed.

Lyons’ high profile music venues - Planet Bluegrass and
Oskar Blues- may receive most of the public attention, but the
real musical treasure of Lyons is behind the scenes: the vibrant
community of touring musicians, recording artists, record
producers, music business leaders, and fans and residents who
share a passion for music of all genres.
Unlike the highly competitive scenes in major cities, the Lyons
music community is uniformly welcoming to all musicians.
Musicians gather weekly for informal jam sessions - from blues
and bluegrass to jazz and folk. Music takes place everywhere in
Lyons: on front porches, to concerts in Sandstone Park to Planet
Bluegrass’ highly acclaimed Rocky Grass and Folks Festivals each
summer.
Lyons produces a wealth of intimate community-oriented
concerts, dances, and charity performances in local halls and
even private homes. This free sharing of resources cultivates
a supportive community that continues to attract new music
professionals to town on a regular basis. Sally Van Meter, a
Grammy Award-winning slide guitarist (and longtime Lyons
resident) says “It’s like the East Village of New York, when all the
great poets were living there in the 60s. It almost has that feel
because of this great connection we all have to music.” Similarly,
a 2011 profile on NPR’s All Things Considered described Lyons as
“…a kind of roots music artist’ colony” [that is] quietly becoming
the Nashville of the Rockies”. Rolling Stone Magazine wrote,
“Lyons is the hottest place to be on a Saturday night in Colorado.”
Wandering into Oskar blues for Tuesday night’s bluegrass
jam can be overwhelming: there is a Grammy Award-winning
musician at that table; there’s the head of a national booking
agency by the window; there are several touring musicians
trading songs and tunes in that corner. In another corner, there is
an admired instrument builder; standing in the hallway is one of
Colorado’s top studio engineers. Even your next-door neighbor is
playing Scruggs-style 5-string banjo.

Lyons venues that offer quality live music 7 nights a week
include Planet Bluegrass’ Wildflower Theater, Oskar Blues, Lyons
Fork, Local Eat Drink, Smokin’ Daves, Spirit Hound Distillery, The
Stone Cup, and one of Lyon’s most treasured intimate venues is
High Street Concerts at Rogers Hall, a monthly series of concert
events that bring to Lyons rare appearances of high-profile solo
artists and bands. All these wonderful venues are within a onehalf mile distance, keeping our music scene alive and healthy.
In addition, the Lyons Old-Time Community Dance brings
together live bands and professional dance callers during the
winter months, and the fifty-eight year old Red Rock Ramblers
Square dance club comes together every Saturday evening during
the summer.
In early June, the innovative Sounds of Lyons offers music
lovers a unique classical music experience in indoor and outdoor
settings led by renowned violinist Mintze Wu. Throughout the
summer, the Thursday evening Concert In the Park series on the
Vasquez stage offers free local artist’ concerts, and the music
floats across town on the summer evenings. During the summerautumn months, thousands of music lovers descend upon Lyons
for a week long celebration of both bluegrass and folk music at
Planet Bluegrass, featuring a four day instructional camp that
ends in a weekend-long festival for both Rocky Grass and Folks
Festivals. Lyons is a town that is devoted to the musical arts and
places high value on music in the community.

Our Artisan
Neighborhood Community
While some visitors might think of us as a quaint
little town on the way to Rocky Mountain National
Park, Lyons as a town along the Front Range, it is in fact
a well-recognized stronghold for an unusually large
number of artisans, musicians, composers, writers,
and more. As a town, we celebrate them as
artists who uniquely contribute to our
town, earning Lyons the reputation
as one of being artist-celebrated.
Here in Lyons, some of our
notable artist neighbors are indeed
well known and some not so well
known, but to the town it is all
the same in terms of the value
they add to a town like Lyons.
While we can’t name all of
them for you, we would like
you as our visitor to know a
little about them and why the art
and music they create makes Lyons
a special place to visit.
In Lyons, we celebrate such an diverse artistic
community: a husband/wife duo known for
photographic essays found in National Geographic,
mystery novels set in the Land of Enchantment,
and books on Native American culture in America.
Another highly respected artisan is a fly rod maker
who will handcraft a bamboo fly rod to your custom
specifications; each fly rod is a masterpiece of fishing
equipment and unique to the art of fly rod making
and indeed, a work of fine art. Adding to this, this
master craftsman is an author of many best-selling
books on fly fishing and has been compared to Mark
Twain in his crafting of fishing adventures that go
beyond anything one might consider a typical fishing
tales book.
Musicians, you ask? We have plenty of musicians
here to suit all your musical yearnings. We boast a
world-class classical violinist/composer who each
year in Lyons brings together musicians from across
the country and puts on a festival that features
classical compositions from the past and present.
Another neighbor is a master musician on
the resonator slide guitar with a Grammy
Award in possession, also known for
writing and directing documentary
film, and as a veteran performer
on International and National
Festival Stages. More notable
musicians in Lyons include
a bassist/ clawhammer-style
banjo player who also happens
to be a highly respected and
singular artist in her own right,
creating
original
paintings
that defy convention. You can
also find among our neighbors an
independent singer-songwriter who tours
both nationally and internationally. Even in the
aftermath of the flood of September 2013, many of
our musicians remain dedicated to living in a town
that supports live music. Live music abounds in the
town of Lyons; almost every night of the week, you
can find great live local music in venues across town
and during the summers there are always the music
festivals that showcase Bluegrass, Folk and beyond
for.
If it is a perfect pale ale you are looking for on a hot
afternoon, Lyons boasts one of the most successful
independent craft breweries that Food and Wine
magazine called one of the “100 Things You’ve Got To
Try in 2007”. As well, in the town of Lyons, visitors
can spend the day at an independent distillery that
specializes in award-winning whiskeys, gins, and
29
other spirits. If you want to find an artisan-quality
one of a kind handmade table, right here in town we
have a company born out of the flood of 2013 that
custom builds beautiful handmade tables using old
barn wood and woods re-purposed from the Lyons
flood as a symbol of resilience.
If reading a good novel on the back patio of one
of our local restaurants or on your sun porch in the
morning is your thing, Lyons touts a serious organic
gardener turned mystery writer, whose murder
mysteries always seem to take place in the garden.
Lyons celebrates independent photographers and
documentary filmmakers as well, with a great custom
photography business, and even a local film festival
during our summer season. Right here in town, there
is a nationally recognized quilt shop that specializes
in handmade quilting. You can find the work of local
handcrafted Ceramic pottery artists, jewelry makers,
and more in most every artisan shop in our downtown
shops. Lyons is recognized as having many resident
painters who are inspired by the mountain west
landscape and the natural environment habitat. One
long-established landscape painter who describes
herself as “...as old as my tongue and a little older
than my teeth” captures the unparalleled beauty of
the Lyons landscape in watercolor paintings that
challenge us not to feel the beauty of the natural
world.
Sculpture is everywhere in Lyons. You can
experience sculptures on our Main Street Downtown
business district and other areas as well. One
celebrated local artist in Lyons creates largescale, tower mounted, and wind-powered kinetic
artworks that have been featured at the 2014/2015
Outdoors International Kinetic Art Show. In terms
of community commitment to create ongoing works
of art, many of our local residents, both artist and
non-artist alike came together to create the Clarifier
Project, a large free-form art mosaic created over a
shell of a former waste-water treatment tank. This
is just one way the Lyons community expresses its
interest and commitment to keeping our community
full of art and artists of all genres.
All of these talented artisans live within the
Lyons and surrounding area community, and are
active in promoting a healthy art and music scene.
One thing is clear: Lyons holds a true commitment
to its artist community neighbors. Acknowledgment
of the importance of art in any small town ensures
that the small town can continue to thrive and this
recognition is unmatched in adding to the positive
quality of life in a town such as Lyons.

expressions as you stroll through our shops, restaurants,

You will realize quickly, as you stroll thru our town, that
you are finding one-of-a-kind selections that would make

flood
September 12, 2013
It has been a few years since Lyons community was jolted awake by sirens
in the darkness. At sunrise, we discovered Mother Nature had taken a
swipe at our town, leaving behind mud and broken hopes.
36
During the next few months, residents stood up and began to
rebuild. Along the way, we thanked our neighbors and friends for
their generosity, both near and far.
We celebrated when we overcame challenges and cried when we
could not accomplish what was dear to our hearts.
Today the parks, bridges, roads, and homes are being reimagined.
And Lyons is resilient.
Lyons is still in the process of repairing the damage from the
flood. If you would like to donate your time, please visit www.
lyonsvolunteers.org. If you would like to make a monetary
donation visit www.lyonscf.org.

Lyons is well known for access to wilderness areas that begin at the town borders: Roosevelt
National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Heil and Hall Ranches.
Outdoor recreation is enormously popular in Lyons. Residents of Apple Valley Road, who
continually avoid bikers from both directions, including those with babies in biker carriages,
have even considered re-naming the street “Apple Valley Bike Trail.” Folks on mountain bikes
have exciting challenges on the trails at Hall and Heil Ranches.
Hikers are continuously rewarded with magnificent views throughout town and the area’s
extensive trail systems. One of our favorite trail is the Button Rock Trail. The trail spans a
broad valley connecting the Button Rock Preserve with Hall Ranch in Lyons. To reach the trail,
you must hike Button Rock Preserve’s Sleepy Lion Loop Trail (from the west), or Hall Ranch’s
Nighthawk Trail or Bitterbrush-Nelson Loop Trails (from the east).
