Artisans of Yesteryear at Clear Creek History Park

Making lace, crafting leather, and blacksmithing were part of life on the frontier. Watch demonstrations of these and other traditional skills, taste what’s cooking on the woodstove, and say hello to the chickens at Clear Creek History Park, 11th and Arapahoe. After you’re done at the park, come explore Golden’s unique characters and places through exhibits and programs at the Astor House Museum (12th and Arapahoe) and Golden History Center (10th and Cheyenne, just across Clear Creek). From Castle Rock, kayakers, burros, and trains, to Rosebud pottery, Orediggers, and Demons, the history of the second territorial capital runs deep with color and intrigue.
