If you visit Colorado Springs, be sure to head to Rock Ledge Ranch. Walk the path from 1800's homestead, Native American tipi, 1900's Orchard House,and even watch the blacksmith in action.

If you are looking for a bit of recreation Colorado history than this place is for you. Real people and families volunteer their time to recreate what it was like to live in those times. They cook authentic food the way it was originally cooked. Have a farm with several charities of animals and a Native American site to get... More

Our family really enjoyed our visit to the past. RLRHS lets you travel back in time starting with a trail that leads you through the woods to an Indian village and pioneer log cabins. This is a living history site, so throughout the year volunteers are on hand to tell their story about the period in time when they lived... More

Be sure you attend the Independence Day celebration at this old's ranch. It's in production and you get authentic views of high class frontier living. Be sure to listen to the Brass Band concer and speeches .

2 years in a row we have enjoyed the theaterworks opening show at Rock Ledge Ranch. Great ambiance and wonderful setting! Also have enjoyed the ecology fests there in the past. Best of Colorado!

Good insight for an out of state visitor to see how the pioneers lived. It has a great Arts & Crafts Market in September or October. It is close to the magnificent Garden of the Gods park to visit after the Rock Ledge Ranch.

This amazing, authentic and historical site with its backdrop of the Red Rocks of the Garden of the Gods is a "must-visit" for visitors to the Pikes Peak region. Its living history recreators truly bring the past into the present and the ranch setting will provide opportunity to stroll through and imagine for yourself what life in the early days... More

I have been going here for 25 years it was a much better place when the price wasn't outrageous! The experience is unlike any other if you get a guided tour. I strongly recommend this for family vacations or school field trips if you go in larger groups you can get a group discount I highly advise reservations as well.... More
