Hutchinson Homestead & Learning Center

Come and experience what homesteading life was all about 150 years ago! This remarkable site is open for heritage tours! Visit the draft horse cabin or the blacksmith shop. Join a tour to learn the history of the Hutchinson's dating back to the 1800's. Meander through Annabel's home or Uncle Art's cabin as your tour guide tells facts about their life at the time! The Hutchinson Ranch was established in 1868 when pioneers Joseph Sykes Hutchinson and Annabel McPherson settled and started raising cattle. Joseph was a Union Army Captain who also served as a representative in the Colorado Territorial Legislature, and Annabel was a strong matriarch who raised four sons and continued to run the ranch after Joseph’s early demise at age 42. The non-profit Guidestone Colorado partners with the Hutchinson family and the town of Poncha Springs to share this history.
