President Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) spent much of his vacation time and eventual retirement in Vail, Colorado. While in the White House, the Ford family took frequent trips to Colorado. After losing the presidency in 1976, he built a retirement home in Beaver Creek, which remained in the family until his death in 2006.
