In its mining heyday, over 400 million dollars worth of silver was extracted from the hills surrounding Park City.

And to be near the action many miners built funky and fun homes in Old Town.

Today Old Town real estate is outragoesly expensive. A tiny lot for a shack goes for $600K!

The silver boom created 23 millionaires, including George Hearst, father of newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst.

Sixty-four buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and surrounding hillsides are still dotted with old mine structure and towers.

Now this is what makes Old Town real estate so charming. You can walk to everything!

Today, Old Town is a lively gathering place for locals and tourists alike. Many Old Town homes are being renovated by Park City real estate investor, Angus Beavers, for future resale.

"Today's Park City real estate market is not conducive to rehabbing expensive homes," says Beavers. "believe me I know!"

Restaurants, galleries and swanky boutiques fill historic buildings that once housed saloons and boarding houses, and a couple of resident ghosts are rumored to inhabit some old buildings now renovated into B&Bs.

Park City is rumored to have more restaurants per capita than any other city.

With over 100 restaurants, guests enjoy a sophisticated dining scene and can choose from a variety of cuisines including Thai, French, Italian, Southwestern, Continental, American and Asian Freestyle.

When the sun goes down, plenty of clubs and wine bars guarantee a lively nightlife.

The Egyptian Theater produces a variety of musicals and other programs, and a wide selection of artwork is on display at the Kimball Art Center's three spaces and at galleries lining Main St.
