Sheep Shearing and Fiber Arts Day
2026-06-06 10:00 - 16:00
Did you know that in the 1880s, El Paso County boasted the largest population of sheep in the state? Costumed historical interpreters, farmers, shearers, and fiber artists come together to bring you this slice of our Colorado heritage. Be enthralled by the expert sheepdog demonstrations, be mesmerized by the traditional sheep shearing, and be inspired by the journey wool takes from the sheep to our homes. Visit the General Store to buy gifts made from our very own sheep! All historic homes will be open throughout the event.
