Hahns Peak Village is an unincorporated community in Routt County, Colorado. It is located north of Clark, Colorado along Routt County Road 129, and just east of Steamboat Lake State Park. The village is named for Hahns Peak, which is nearby.

History

The village functioned as the Routt County Seat from seat from 1877 to 1912. It's the oldest permanent settlement in the northwestern part of Routt County. [2]

An 1800s cabin, The Wirther Cabin, is restored and now sits on Main Street. The Hans Peak Schoolhouse, which operated from 1912 to 1943, is also on Main Street. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
