Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation is a non-profit organization that is committed to preserving the natural environment, enhancing cultural life in Colorado, and providing educational opportunities devoted to western heritage, wildlife and the arts. Cherokee Ranch & Castle includes land that originally belonged to two separate homesteads in the late 1890s: the Flower Homestead and the Blunt Homestead. The Johnson Family moved from the East and purchased the Flower Homestead in 1924 and built the 1450s Scottish-style Castle. Tweet purchased adjacent land that had been the Blunt Homestead and renamed both pieces of land Cherokee Ranch, which today includes 3,100 acres of natural beauty and wildlife. In 1996, Tweet worked with Douglas County to protect Cherokee Ranch through a Conservation Easement. The Foundation holds the deed to Cherokee Ranch which serves as a Cultural and Educational Hub. Cherokee Ranch & Castle provides a wide variety of programs including: Educational Castle Tours and Afternoon Teas, and a wide variety of K-12 and Adult Educational Programs focusing on, for example, Culture and the Arts, Environmental Science, Colorado and Western History and Heritage, Wildlife, Ranching, etc. We are open to the public by reservations or appointment only.

Preserving the Beauty of Cherokee Ranch and Castle!

Behind the beauty of Cherokee Ranch and Castle is a great deal of care, hard work, and attention to detail!

Our latest maintenance projects include repainting the garage door at the Castle, along with repainting the windows and garage doors of the six-car garage.

With winter just around the corner, Nathan Lieberman, CRCF Ranch and Grounds Coordinator, has taken the lead in getting the exterior painting around the Castle completed before the colder weather arrives.

These projects are about more than just a fresh coat of paint. They are part of our ongoing commitment to caring for, maintaining, and preserving this special historic property for generations to come.

A big thank-you to Nathan for his leadership, dedication, and hard work in keeping Cherokee Ranch and Castle looking its best!

Preserving our history, one project at a time.

With Halloween just around the corner, it seems our mysterious guests have decided to explore inside the Castle. We caught a couple of them peeking around the pillars in the Great Hall! 🏰

Last night was a wonderful evening of Scotch wh**ky, tradition, and great company at Cherokee Ranch & Castle!

We were delighted to have Scott Beach, the Colorado Bagpiper, as our presenter, sharing his knowledge and passion for Scotch wh**ky. A special thank-you to our pourers, Doc Abbot and Joe Gehringer, for helping make the tasting a memorable experience.

From the rich history of Scotch wh**ky to the stories behind each pour, it was a fantastic evening enjoyed by all! 🥃🏰
