Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, Colorado Springs Photos

The Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is an open-air museum with four areas representing the history of the Pikes Peak regional settlement: the 1775 Indian settlement, the 1860's Galloway Homestead log cabin, the 1880's Chambers Home & Ranch, and the Orchard House (1907) Edwardian Dutch Colonial Country Estate. Orchard House was built by Colorado Springs founder General William Jackson Palmer for his relatives. All these house museums are furnished to their respective time periods.
