Homestead Meadows

Several options allow you to explore the peaceful and quiet remains of different farms and ranches in Homestead Meadows National Historic District, including one with a sunken bathtub. Old relics like stoves and cars lie abandoned in the flower-filled meadows. Cattle ranching, farming, and logging provided income to the families who settled here. A new and easier access to this outdoor history museum is through Hermit Park Open Space, opened in 2008 by Larimer County.
