Denver’s oldest extant building. This rough-hewn ponderosa
pine log cabin (1859), refined over the years with clapboarding, a frame wing, and
Victorian brick addition, was built as a stage stop along Cherry Creek and Smoky Hill
Trail. It rests on giant cottonwood logs. Restored as a living-history museum and farm on
a seven-acre site, owned and operated by City and County of Denver.
