The Historic Fall River Hydroplant in Estes Park was built by F.O. Stanley to power his famous Stanley Hotel in 1909. Stanley sold the plant to the Public Service Company of Colorado in 1928. In 1945, the Town of Estes Park bought the plant and maintained it until it was severely damaged by the Lawn Lake Flood in 1982. The Historic Fall River Hydroplant features the original equipment installed by Stanley in 1909, machinery from an addition in 1921, and a diesel unit installed by Public Service in 1938. In addition to the equipment, there are panels that document the story of the plant, the growth of Estes Park and its insatiable need for electricity, and the Lawn Lake Flood of 1982.
