The Centennial House is one of Aurora's most significant pieces of history for various reasons. The structure is a Queen Anne Victorian-styled home and is the oldest of the nine houses Donald Fletcher built to begin developing a new community east of Denver. The community's original name, Fletcher, was later changed to Aurora. The home was one of the first in the area to feature plumbing and has had both its interior and exterior restored to reflect its original 1890s appearance. Tours are available, but you must call to reserve your time.

If you're feeling lucky, then make plans to take a casino trip from Aurora to Black Hawk and Central City. This fun attraction is only a short 35 mile drive from Aurora, and you can enjoy gambling in Central City and Black Hawk. Central City is commonly referred to as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth" as it was a key area during the mining boom. Perhaps you'll strike gold of a different sort when your slot machine hits the big jackpot!

Aurora's Great Plains Park is great in so many ways. Visitors can enjoy several outdoor activities like splashing around in the water feature area, watching the kids play on the jungle-gym or running around and playing a game of catch on the spacious open fields. The park gets high marks from many visitors who site its cleanliness and family-friendly atmosphere. It is also a favorite of nature lovers, as you can enjoy a picnic lunch or just sprawl out on a blanket on the grass with your favorite book and take in some of that Colorado sunshine.
