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 every third Saturday, and free guided tours, storytelling campfires and nature hikes are also offered. All events are free to the public. Registration is required for most events – register and learn more here.
Open Days for Self-Guided Tours (Third Saturday of the month, April-November from 1-5pm): Explore the rich history and beauty of Schweiger Ranch with a self-guided tour of the historic property and outbuildings. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the historic house is currently closed to public access. A virtual tour of the house interior is available during open hours of 1-5pm.
The House is temporarily closed and will reopen as COVID data and weather allow for best safety practices. When the house reopens, face masks will be required to be worn while inside. Registration required – register and learn more here.
