Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site
Near the entrance to the park is an open air museum, Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, a re-creation of Colorado Springs life covering a number of time periods. The walking tour features a restored ranch house, a one room log cabin, a tipi, demonstrations of smithing and facts about Native American activity in the area, including a small re-creation of a Native American campsite. Rock Ledge Ranch is not part of the park, but is adjacent to it. It is opened only on certain days and charges a modest admissions fee.

“Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
