HR Mansion

Once again, HRHS has been invited to participate in the Highlands Ranch Days at the Mansion.

To all the volunteers that helped out at this years event, we thank you.

Continuing our popular HR Then & Now series, this program highlights the architectural jewel of Highlands Ranch....the Mansion! Maggie Glass, Mansion Manager, leads us on this journey from 1891 (when the Mansion began as a modest farmhouse), to its present day status as the premier property in Highlands Ranch. Along the way we will learn about the various mansion owners, and their place in Denver/ and the West, along with the uses and continuing renovations of the Mansion since that humble farmhouse beginning. We will take a virtual tour thru the Mansion, walking thru each room, admiring the handiwork both of long ago while marveling at the beauty following the recent multi-million dollar renovation! Additionally David Johnston and Paul McKeag will lead us on a short tour of the amazing BackCountry wilderness, and briefly visit an abandoned homestead, while learning about upcoming History Hayrides! Journey with the Historical Society as we explore the beautiful Highlands Ranch Mansion

The Historical Society had a great time helping at the 2014 Highlands Ranch Days, held at the beautiful Highlands Ranch Mansion in September 2014.  We were once again priviledged to present the Historical Trunks, which contained goodies from yester-year, grouped into items representing Daily Life, Ranching and Work-Related, and School Days.

No doubt about it, the Old Time Clothes and implements were a big hit, with the young and young-at-heart alike!

Thank you to our many dedicated volunteers, who radiated joy and fun as they helped our visitors.  Well over 1000 people visited the Mansion that day, with even more attending the many events outdoors. 

A fun and educational time was had by all!
