Littleton Museum

Absolutely loved visiting the Littleton Museum a couple months back. First, it's free! What is these days? Second, it's a great educational activity for adults and kids alike. They have separate farm areas, one from 1860 and one from 1890. It's a lot of fun to walk through the farm and see all have animals and older buildings. We also enjoyed the demonstrations on how to weld and how to make soap. The indoor portion of the museum has a play area for kids as well as a full history of Littleton with lots of exhibits. I will definitely come back again when the weather warms up.

This museum is a gem! I was searching online for free places to take my son and stumbled upon this listing. I can't believe this place is free! There are so many cool things here and we will definitely be back to continue exploring! While the interior of the museum features many interesting exhibits- the outside has several animals and old timey buildings which are extremely fascinating to explore. They do a lot of live demonstrations, so make sure to pick up a schedule from the front desk before you start walking around just so you can plan which ones you want to attend!

If you are a lover of knowledge and history, then this place is for you! The interior of this museum is loaded full of history of the city of Littleton from its founding all the way up to present day. Many showcases display a timeline of events what made this city strong, prosperous and enduring. The outside of the museum has two different live and working farms with multiple animals and crops that show what life must have been like back in the mid to late 1800's. There are also nature trails that lead to a hidden alcove that open up to neighboring Ketring lake and park. Best part about this place is that the admission price is the low low price of absolutely free.

Still a totally fun free thing to do with kids or out of town guests. My toddler and I spent a couple of very enjoyable hours here last Friday morning. This time he was especially interested in playing pretend in the houses and in the blacksmith's demonstration. Seriously, he probably could have sat there and watched him all day! There were several baby animals there too and they were super cute!!

We had an amazing time here. The museum and farms are huge! And admission is free. It was so cool and interesting to learn about Littleton history. They also have a great selection on animals on their farm. I love how they have two different farms from two different times. The museum inside also has an art exhibit which was super cool. People were nice and the gift shop has cool stuff. Highly recommend checking this place out!

This is a real hidden gem and a great place to bring children.The property is larger than it appears from the front. I walked around a corner of it looking for an entrance and then figured out I had to enter through the building rather than through one of the fenced areas. When you come into the main building there is a receptionist. Past her are three different displays. One is an historical museum centered around farms and Littleton history. The second is a small art gallery and the third display is a room full of toys from the good old days. The kids loved the toys.Outside there is a working farm that is huge. If you go to the left there are chickens in a coop and a blacksmith barn. (I believe they give demonstrations some times.) If you exit the main building and go to the right instead, there are sheep, a horse stable, mules / donkeys, and a one room schoolhouse. Everything is kid friendly and has enough interesting stuff to keep even the littlest kids engaged and interested.

As a CO native, the Littleton Museum was a place a grew up with, many a day spent here. As I had my own kids, I took them here as well. I absolutely love, it is near and dear to my heart! Spring time is best as there are baby lambs. If you haven't ever been, please go.

Visited here for the fall festival a few months back, and I ADORED it. I'm not sure if it is typically free, but that was a huge bonus coming to the festival. Lots of barn animals, history, and interactive performances. The interior of the museum itself is super cute, and I feel like I've learned a lot about the history after looking through the displays. Staff members were also quite polite too. Would love to visit again in the future.

Really appreciate all of the historic information! The farm, school and blacksmith shop are fun to visit.

Inhumane Animal Treatment.All of the animals have no space and they ALL look unhealthy, dirty and sick. They are all living in their own poop. I saw the sheep were incredibly itchy and one was desperately trying to scratch herself on the posts. The animals looked docile and sad. This can't be a healthy environment for people - especially children or the animals. Something needs to change. They should charge a small fee for visitors to take better care of the animals. No maintenance was done whatsoever.
