Among RidgeGate’s cultural facilities is the 38-acre historic Schweiger Ranch, located just east of the RidgeGate Parkway and I-25 interchange. The historic restoration of the ranch and its buildings, led by the nonprofit Schweiger Ranch Foundation, gives us an important glimpse into the settlers’ lives in the late 1800s. Today, Schweiger Ranch is open to the public for self-guided visits and free guided tours, storytelling campfires and nature hikes are also offered. All events are free to the public.
Join us as we celebrate and explore the courage, resilience, and lasting impact of the Buffalo Soldiers — African American servicemen who served with distinction in every major American war and played a significant role in shaping the United States.Following the Civil War, Congress established six all-African-American Army units, including the famed 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments.
Come learn, reflect, and celebrate a powerful chapter of our nation’s story.
