  • (1) To assist in preserving historical monuments of Colorado, the state historical society of Colorado may designate any appropriate area within the state as a ghost town, unless the private or public owner of such property objects.
  • (2) Upon designation of an area as a ghost town, the state historical society shall erect the necessary number of signs, markers, or plaques at the site of such ghost town to apprise persons of the designation of such area as a ghost town, the name of the ghost town, the historical significance of the ghost town, other pertinent historical data, and the penalty for destruction or vandalism to the ghost town. Each such sign, marker, or plaque shall also bear the inscription: "The historical heritage of the state of Colorado can only be preserved by the citizens themselves."
