Fillius Park

The first parcel of land for Fillius Park came as a donation to Denver from cattle rancher Jules J. Clark in 1918, with additional land later obtained through condemnation. 

Thumbnail

Everhardt Ranch / Herzman Ranch

The Everhardt Ranch is one of the most significant historic properties in the Evergreen area.  The original homesteader, Johnny Everhardt, was the first white settler.

Thumbnail

Evergreen Conference District

The district is significant for its association with Canon Charles Winfield Douglas, an internationally known expert on the Plain-Song Mass; for its architectural features, which to some extent reflect the original construction and appearance of Evergreen a century ago; and for its association with music, education, religion, and social/humanitarian activity.

Thumbnail

Dedisse Park

This 475-acre park is located in Bear Creek Valley just west of downtown Evergreen.  It includes the most diverse range of developed uses and landscapes of the Denver Mountain Parks. 

Thumbnail

Corwina–Pence–O’Fallon Parks

This park district consists of three contiguous parks, acquired and developed between 1914-1938, which together form one large, diverse recreational facility, encompassing approximately 1,338 acres.  The parks encompass some of the most attractive, gently sloping areas along Bear Creek and a long mountain ridge that affords good views to the north, east, and west. 

Thumbnail

Brook Forest Inn

The Brook Forest Inn is an important example of a successful tourist resort and local entertainment venue.  Attracting both locals and vacationers from across the state and country, the Inn provided a mountain getaway for individuals, families, and parties.  Since its opening in 1919 and through the height of its popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, the Brook Forest Inn played a vital role in resort tourism along the Front Range and specifically in Evergreen.  With the exception of brief periods, the Brook Forest Inn has continuously operated as an Inn and restaurant since 1919

Thumbnail

Bergen Park

Bergen Park includes the starting point for Squaw Pass Road which provides access to the sub-alpine and alpine lands of Echo Lake, Summit Lake, and Mount Evans. 

Thumbnail

Pleasant Park School

This 1894 school is important to the educational and social history of the Pleasant Park community.  It served as the school for 55 years, and since 1907, has been in continuous use by Pleasant Park Grange #156.  The building’s architecture epitomizes the rural schoolhouse in its size, plan, roof shape, materials, and placement of doors and windows.

Thumbnail

Midway House / Meyer Ranch

Built in 1889, the vernacular Queen Anne style Midway House played an important role in transportation history, serving as a stopping point on the stagecoach route from Denver to Fairplay. 

Thumbnail

Conifer Junction Schoolhouse

Conifer Junction Schoolhouse is a one-room schoolhouse that was continuously used from 1923 to 1965 for grades 1-8.  The school district then converted it to a preschool, which operated until 2012.  The school provided a central gathering place for many community dances, box socials and other events until 1955.
