Experience Life as a Pioneer!

The mission of Four Mile Historic Park is to preserve and interpret the western rural heritage and environment of Colorado to educate a diverse public. At Four Mile Historic Park we make history come to life with hands-on activities for children ages pre-kindergarten through 6th grade (older students can be accommodated)! Our activities are designed to address state education standards, enrich established curriculum, and provide a memorable, engaging journey into the past. The Park offers a variety of educational programs for schools, students and seniors. Four Mile Historic Park also offers summer day camps, birthday party packages, rental space, and exciting special events.
