The Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is an educational, non-profit living history farm and museum, which depicts life in the Pikes Peak region in four time periods: American Indian (time immemorial to the present), 1860s Galloway Homestead, 1880s Chambers Home and Ranch, and the 1907 Orchard House, an Edwardian Country Estate. We are located across from the Garden of the Gods Nature and Visitor Cent

er. Enter Garden of the Gods off 30th Street, take the first available left. Follow the road south to the little building that says "Entrance." As part of the City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department, the Ranch grounds are open daily from dawn to dusk. The buildings, however, are only open during the Summer Living History Program (Wednesday - Sunday) and special events throughout the year. Admissions tickets can be purchased on-location or on our website.

Rock Ledge Ranch is excited to introduce “Ranch ‘n’ Roots”, a new nature exploration program happening every Friday throughout the Fall, Winter and Spring. This family-focused program will celebrate the natural wonder of the Front Range by featuring a topic relating to the ecology and human history of Rock Ledge Ranch. Topics can range from clouds, snakes, horses, gardens, trees and possibly even lions (no tigers) and bears “oh my!” Each week will include a variety of books, crafts, games, activities and nature walks.
This program will require parent participation and is intended for elementary-aged children. Younger children are welcome to come just be aware that the activities will be geared for grades K-6th. If younger students intend to participate, they must be registered.
For all of our homeschooling families, this program will not require a Notice of Intent.
The program costs $180 per student per semester, or, if families intend to pay for the whole year, $325 per student per year (about a 10% discount).
This program will run every Friday from 9am-12pm for 12 weeks each semester starting on Sept. 4th. The first semester will run from September 4th through November 20th, and the second semester will run from February 12th through May 7th.

Why did the sheep go to the barber shop?

It was having a “baaaaaaaad” hair day…

(Okay technically a sheep has wool and they actually get sheared but none of the puns I found online were funny so we are sticking to this one…)

“Baaaaad” jokes aside (sorry I couldn’t resist) summer Living History continues at Rock Ledge Ranch until August 15th!

Take a step back in time and see what life was like in a one room log cabin or a life of luxury at the Orchard House. Located on the southeast side of the Garden of the Gods, Rock Ledge Ranch has six unique historic sites along with 220 acres of beautiful fields for picnics and shady trails for taking a walk.

Living History runs Wednesday-Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 1pm-5pm.
