Most who survived in the beautiful, if inhospitable region, succeeded as farmers and ranchers. Relive the experience by exploring the blacksmith shop, log cabins, hay barn and root cellar. Visit with our heirloom-breed chickens and discover a buzzing beehive. On select days, interact with costumed interpreters who enliven the landscape with cooking and blacksmithing demonstrations. Step inside the one-room Guy Hill Schoolhouse and take a seat in a student’s desk, but don’t wisecrack to the school mistress! « less

Well worth the opportunity to walk into a historic school house and historic little houses/cabins. More

Do not miss this gorgeous place.  Step back in time and tour the working farm.  Visit the Astor House in Golden as well - makes for a wonderful day out in Golden! More

This summer, we had family visiting (including my 11 year old niece, and some older aunts and grandmothers.) We spent the day on Lookout Mountain and in Golden, walking and looking for letterboxes. We stopped at the Clear Creek History Park, and had a nice time watching the chickens, looking inside the historic buildings and listening to the sound of... More

We took our 2yr old granddaughter, LJ to Clear Creek History Farm and it was great fun for her as well as for us. She loved the chickens and the volunteer feeding them let us go inside to see where the eggs are laid. We walked through the community garden plots and LJ told us the pumpkins are growing in... More

It's a peaceful and informative place, often the host for fun summer and fall events in Golden, and often open for no cost but a... More

We thoroughly enjoy the Clear Creek History museum! They always have so many fun events and they're just a few blocks off the bustling downtown. We especially love when they open up the old buildings and have living history reenactors explain how life was in the days of the pioneers! We also loved the Summer Music festivals!! Fabulous! The only... More
