Walker Ranch Homestead, 7701 Flagstaff Road.

Boulder County, Colo. - Boulder County Parks & Open Space will host the Summer Heritage Morning event on Sunday, June 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Walker Ranch Homestead, 7701 Flagstaff Road.

Travel back to the late 1800s during this free, family-friendly event set against the scenic backdrop of Walker Ranch. Costumed volunteers will bring the site’s rich European settler history to life through demonstrations, storytelling, and hands-on activities.

Visitors are encouraged to take part in traditional games, crafts, and ranch chores — from butter churning to shingle making — offering a fun and immersive way to learn about daily life more than a century ago. Friendly guides will be on hand to share insights and answer questions as you explore.

Guided tours will take place throughout the event, with activities including:

• Blacksmith Demonstrations
• Log House Cooking
• Butter Churning
• Old-Fashioned Laundry
• Old-Fashioned Games
• Shingle Making
• General Store

Please note that activities are subject to change based on volunteer availability.

Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic and blanket, as there are no tables at the homestead. For the enjoyment and safety of all attendees, bikes and pets are not allowed at the homestead.

Registration is not required for this activity, but you can still sign up to be notified in case the event is unexpectedly canceled.
