Clear Creek History Park |
Details |
Clear Creek History Park is home to many of the original buildings from the old Pearce Ranch in Golden Gate Canyon. When a housing development threatened the ranch buildings in the early 1990s, the community rallied together to save this piece of Golden’s history. Beginning in 1994, the buildings were moved to Golden, log by log, where they were lovingly reconstructed over the course of four years. The park also includes several reconstructed buildings that are not original such as a blacksmith shop, smokehouse and root cellar. Clear Creek History Park opened its gates to walk-up visitors in the spring of 1999. Over the years the site has been managed by Golden Landmarks Association, Friends of the Astor House Museum and Clear Creek History Park, and finally the City of Golden, Golden History Museum & Park since 2010. |
