(Colorado Springs, CO) Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site in Colorado Springs will host a Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The sprawling living history museum sits on 230 acres at Garden of the Gods Park and is especially beautiful in the fall with the changing leaves.

Guests can explore the grounds (blacksmith shop, general store, barn), tour the historic homes, and enjoy fall-themed activities. There will be wagon rides, old-time music, a "candy scramble" in the hay, a pumpkin patch (pumpkins are $5 each), and food & beverages for purchase.

It will be a wonderful day to sit on the beautiful lawn and enjoy the scenery while eating a slice of pie! There are picnic tables near the Orchard House and around the pond.

Please bring small bills for the pumpkin patch and food vendors. An ATM is available on-site.

Harvest Festival admission is $8.00 for adults (ages 18-64), $5 for seniors (ages 65+), $4.00 for youth (ages 3-17), and children two and under are free. Tickets are available here.
