Where Western Slope History Grows
Cross Orchards
Step back in time at Cross Orchards Historic Site, a preserved piece of the Grand Valley’s agricultural and railroad heritage. Once part of a 243-acre apple orchard, today the site features historic buildings, vintage equipment, and remaining orchard trees bringing the early 20th-century life to vivid reality.
Walk through the restored packing shed, visit heirloom gardens, and peek into life on the early 20th-century Western Slope. Seasonal events and occasional demonstrations bring history to life, making Cross Orchards a charming stop for families, locals, and history buffs alike.
