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.
Austrian Christmas
Schweiger Ranch is presenting its 10th annual Austrian Christmas event on Saturday, December 5th from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. Visit Santa Claus and his real reindeer, take a horse drawn carriage ride, and enjoy authentic Austrian food and music, and much more. Stop by the Christkindl Markt for presents that will add a local handcrafted touch to your gift giving. This is a free event and fun for the whole family. Registration is NOT required.
More details coming in the Fall and will be found here.
