ABOUT: Horsefly History Tours was founded in 2017 with a simple idea: history should be every bit as entertaining as it is accurate. What began as a single walking tour has grown into Durango's premier locally owned history and ghost tour company, offering award-winning experiences that blend meticulous research, engaging storytelling, and just the right amount of the supernatural. Founded by wildlife biologist and former Rocky Mountain National Park ranger Laine Johnson, Horsefly History Tours is known for going beyond the legends. Every tour is built from years of historical research, newspaper archives, photographs, and oral histories to uncover the people and events that shaped the Wild West.
