Planting trees at the Erie-Wise Homestead Museum

We have been busy working on the landscaping at the Erie-Wise Homestead Museum. This past weekend we planted some liliac bushes and 5 new trees around the museum. We have broke ground on a rather large garden and hope to get some vegetables planted in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks to all the volunteers, Alan, Geoff and Amy, Matt and Kristin, Paula and her daughters, and Phil and his grandson, that came out to help out with the planting!

Come on out and take a peek. We are open every Saturday 10am to 2pm

We look forward to see you this weekend.

Wise Homestead Museum

The Wise Homestead dates back to 1869, when Oliver Wise, his wife Adaline (Ada), and their three children came across the plains from Wisconsin to settle in Colorado. Oliver built a small log cabin and began to farm the land. In 1870, he was granted a U.S. Homestead Patent on the property, and began building a permanent farmhouse.

The Wise Homestead is currently open Saturdays (May through October) from 10am to 2pm and by appointment. to schedule a visit, please call 303-828-4568. For more infomation about the museum or the Erie Historical Society please call Sarah Wise at 303-828-4561
