Come see how autumn was spent on a working ranch in the late 1800s. At this special event, costumed volunteers demonstrate the chores necessary to get the ranch ready for winter such as root-cellaring, sausage-making and doing laundry with a washboard and wringer to name a few. Visitors can participate in some chores. Visit the blacksmith as he makes hinges, nails, and other hardware needed around the ranch, or join in the fun at an old-fashioned barn dance featuring guitar, banjo and fiddle music. There will also be guided tours of the homestead.
This program is free and open to all ages. For more information, please call 303-776-8848 or email tmcmichen@bouldercounty.org.
Please note: Dogs and bicycles are not permitted on the site. Visitors are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at nearby Walker Ranch Open Space picnic sites.
