The purpose of this cache is to learn a little about the history of Breckenridge. To complete the cache you will have to visit the nine locations below and answer as many of the associated questions as you can.
The posted coordinates take you to the Breckenridge Welcome Center. Some of the answers to the questions might also be found in the museum at the back of the Center. If you want a more indepth tour you can take the one offered by the Historical Society that starts from the Welcome Center, but this is not necessary to get credit for the find.
After visiting the nine sites ask the staff in the Welcome Center for the Geocache box, it is behind the counter. There are no DNFs for this cache, make the effort and give yourself credit.
