Beautiful views outside of what you initially see. Go down the walking paths and youll see amazing colors and foliage.

This is a great place to practice our photography. Especially when the sun is setting. With the perfect angle, we can capture the most beautiful views. Its also dog friendly and connected to some trails leading to Cherry Creek state park. And its free! They maintain it well and Im glad the people that frequent here treat it as the historical landmark it is.

Took a stroll about 20 minutes from my house to the 17 Mile House and Farm. One Saturday each month, the open the property up and you can tour the house, the barn and take a trip back in time. You can make pin wheels and have a picnic lunch under one of the wind mills. The did a great job restoring the house and barn and it was such fun!!

Beautiful and easy access loved it took professional picture here

A great area to walk around and enjoy some scenery

If you like Colorado history or the story of western expansion then this is a great little place to spend and hour or two with the family. Its also a popular spot for photographers to take their clients so expect to see cameras and poses all weekend long.Follow the trail from the farm house to a bicycle/walking path that will take you along the Cherry Creek for as far as you can imagine.There is an on site porto-potty and dog bag station near the parking lot.

Beautiful area, 3 different playgrounds, kept nice and clean, 23 miles for walking, running, or biking.

Very interesting Ill be back

Fun to see this historic site even if just for a short time.

Very nice and beautiful. Tons of amazing dogs and people.

Really nice meander and walking trails nearby by creek. Peaceful, beautiful and interesting

Nice place to take pictures or go on a nice walk...

I had such a wonderful experience with my son my cousin what the event was great hopefully other people can come and enjoy

Great place to shoot photography at if you dont mind waiting and taking turns with other photographers and if you dont mind a very tight parking lot.

Very peaceful. Dog friendly. Dirt road from farm leads to Cherry Creek Trail. Lots of birds , snakes, and even beavers!

Very nice place to bike, walk your dog. Lots of different trails

Fun place to visit with kids and family.

Place is tremendous, especially access to Cherry Creek Trail.

Well done. Fun facts for the whole family!

It is a very picturesque area, with several plaques, giving you history from here. Nice place to visit, but the house or other areas, werent open, when I visited. Recommend to visit still, at least once. Good history information.

Fine trailhead. Lots of people out taking photos, maternity and senior session while we were there. It has a cool old barn.

Peaceful and quiet. I did meditation there

Great atmosphere for a Event. Came here for the free fall festival and there was a lot to do for the whole family. from the petting zoo to the free hay rides it is a must to experience. Beautiful scenery and trails as well if you just want to walk around

Neat little old farm

Nice place to walk around and view the old farm structures.The signs were informative on historical events that happened there.You can walk your dog there.They say that place was a rest stop and i was able to park and sleep in my car without being disturbed.

So very surprised that i pass this every day and after all this time finally discovered the hidden beauty of it all. Scouting a spot suggested for senior pictures we were amazed by all of it !! Barn, bridges, streams!! Such an amazing experience. Cant wait to go back again and again !

Great place to learn about the past, to bike, walk, or run with kids or without. Lots of bird watching available, especially raptors (all year) and herons (more summer). There are often events here and it is within walking distance of some old rail cars, too. The trail it is located on connects to a much larger/longer trail system that runs from Castle Rock all the way up through Denver, most of it along Cherry Creek and other water systems. Great place year round for out door activity.

Great place to go on a walk or bike ride, is a part of the Arapahoe County Open Space area, and its safe enough to take the kids. Historical site with farm buildings to walk around and learn something fun about Colorados past.

This whole area is nice, I walk around the area almost every day and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see the owls

Great place for family pictures!

Best place for pictures

5 stars for what it is . Just a nice historical site. Great area for a run or walking the pup

Its historic. Its a house! The system of trails here is more interesting that the historical building. But...yep... historical site.

Great hike and lots of history !

A peaceful little spot to learn about a life as a farmer. Never stop learning. Check it out along with trails along the Cherry Creek.

Great place to experience the outdoors and Colorado pioneer history!

Best photo backdrop. So many cute rustic options. We love how ot family pictures come out!!

We went to an open house and were treated to a personal tour. A great place to learn about local history!

Calm and relaxing place to walk

Step into a place of old fashioned charm! Tours are only on select days but you can do self guided tours on the outside, which is just as neat! Winfiel windmill, barn, old house, so fun to explore and it leads to a nice paved path for a walk or bike ride with the family

Nice to see 20th century history protected.

While you was there it seems a lot of families and kiddos like this spot for a wholesome backdrop to their family holiday cards.

Beautiful place to take photos

Great gem of Colorado history. Great to stop by if you are passing it. Expect to spend around 15 mins total, reading the placards. Unless there is an event, then you could make a day out of it

Great Park with a ton of space and various trails. They are more strict with leashing your dog though.

My GG Grandmother Mary Hightower owned it for a little while in 1865-66, Had a chance to stop by the site about a 1 1/2 years ago. The buildings werent open at the time but was able to get some pictures that I now use for my screen on my laptop. Will visit some day for a tour.

Did my daughters senior pics here. Great place

This was a great place for family pictures. Especially with small children.

I love this historic little spot! Great place for a quick trip with the family or by yourself to go on a walk and visit a little piece of local history.

A beautiful area for walking or biking, with lots of miles of trails to explore. The homestead itself is a well-preserved reminder of a lifestyle long past. Many photographers use this location for portraits.

Well exhibited history. Love 17 Mile house and excellent fall festival!

We had our wedding pics taken here...awesome spot for pics!

Great location for portrait and backdrop photography. Also nice to walk around and learn about the history of the area. Recommend midday weekdays to avoid crowds

Nice place for a quiet walk by the creek.

Great place to take pictures.

A great example of preserving history and worthwhile use of public funds. Beautiful to drive by, fun to visit.

Awesome place to have a picnic with the family. Feels like a flash back in time when walking the grounds. Nice little pit stop off Parker road.

Its a farm. Has a trash bin and port o potty. Great for taking family photos

Great place with some excellent history of people traveling by horse or wagon into Denver as settlers. Its over run with photographers these days. Come out here for access to the trails for a nice walk with your dogs. Porta Potties are available here.

Enjoy coming every year during the fall

Great location for all types of photography.

Great place tons of paths to discover

Beautiful relaxing viewing! Super clean and spacious!

Great place for pictures, not much else to do here though

Great place for a walk in the city. Nice paths both paved and off road. Enjoy a walk down the river!

Nice trails

Good for a long walk with playgrounds towards the back. There are a lot of people riding bikes which can be irritating for those walking.

A great piece of history! Recommend just stopping by and enjoying the site.

Beautiful place for photos!

Great place to see pioneer history. Goes along with 20 Mile and 4 Mile house that provided pioneers going north to Denver a place to rest, eat and water their horses.

This place is great, not only to learn about the history of our great state but has some amazing structures and farm equipment to photograph

Fun tour. Loved the butter churning and old tools

The have a great Falk festival here. Outside that, interesting place to see how settlers made due.

As a photographer, I love this place! There is a big red barn and farmhouse, as well as open fields.

Beautiful

Scenerys lit and the fact that its just publically available puts the cherry on top

Great peaceful place to stroll. Check out the labyrinth too

I love this place. Many times I visited it.

History of Colorado awaits you in this beautiful open space!

Great little park
