Cherokee Ranch & Castle

About Us

OUR Mission

The Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation is committed to preserving the natural environment, enhancing cultural life in Colorado and providing educational opportunities devoted to western heritage, wildlife, and the arts.

Your Historic Landmark in Douglas County, CO 

Cherokee Castle is a rare example of a 15th century castle. Standing tall, built of locally sourced rhyolite and petrified wood, the Castle houses a collection of world-class art, antiques, and rare books, serving as a public host for an array of cultural, scientific and civic events. The expansive property of Cherokee Ranch sustains habitats for native wildlife, flora and fauna, embodying the heritage of the west.

Preserving History

With generous support of sponsors and donors we restore historic structures such as the Wauhatchie Barn. These structures and natural resources benefit the community through educational programs, cultural performances, scientific exploration, land conservation, and wildlife preservation.

Ranching Legacy

We continue to care for Tweet’s beloved Santa Gertrudis herd and offer agricultural programs to teach youth to respect the land, and at Ranch Headquarters, more humane cattle handling system inspired by the work of Dr. Temple Grandin has been installed.

What Our Clients Are Saying....

I can’t begin to tell you how fantastic this place is. As I approached the castle I was immediately impressed. Once I entered I was blown away by the amount of historical artifacts and rare pieces of art work they have. A true museum of treasures. The volunteers were all so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The way the tour was set up in different groups ran so efficiently that even this added to the wonderful charm of the castle. Schedule tea and a tour, you will be delighted that you did.
