Francois Pierre Ardourel, a former Captain in the French Army came to Colorado after service in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Being an aristocratic Frenchman, he insisted on fine wines and built a lavish wine cellar under his home, which bored into a hill. After the flood of 1894 washed out much of the Pacific Railroad tracks, the tracks were relocated on higher ground behind Ardourel's house. This necessitated losing some of the wine cellar. But the smaller wine cellar and the home still stand in Crisman.
In 1908 Francois Pierre Ardourel, a former French Army captain who served in the Franco-Prussian War, discovered the profitable Grand Republic Mine which produced $200,000 in its first year and benefitted from a 2000 foot tunnel. In 1915 a fire destroyed the Crisman boarding house. By 1945 the Crisman School closed and joined a consolidated school district in Salina which existed until 1952. Although the town of Crisman originally had a post office, school, and other community resources, currently there are only a few homes, located about seven miles from Boulder and just south of Fourmile Canyon Drive, marking the former town site
