Storyline: Entirely through the voices of the town's residents and images from its present and past, "Black Hawk Waltz: Tales of a Rocky Mountain Town" tells the story of Black Hawk, Colorado (about 45 minutes west of Denver) from its founding in the 1850s up to the present day. It was in Black Hawk, in the late 1850s, that gold was first discovered in Colorado. The town began as a placer mining camp and grew into an area of underground mines and later a milling and smelting town.
