Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, the living history museum located at the foot of Garden of the Gods Park, was constructed in June 1875. The Rock Ledge House has a diverse history as a boarding house, school, and family homestead. Today, the Ranch offers various educational programs and seasonal events, aimed at preserving and interpreting life in the Pikes Peak region from the 1700s to the early 1900s.
