A Timeless Tale
Quincy Farm is the iconic 17.5-acre farm that was graciously donated to the City of Cherry Hills Village by Catherine (“Cat”) Anderson. The Farm is a unique property nestled among century-old trees, pasture lands, and sweeping meadows, and boasts a collection of historic structures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Farm includes a 1930s barn and the only 19th-century farmhouse in the area.
A Public Private Partnership
Cherry Hills Land Preserve is a local nonprofit organization, founded in 2005 to inspire conservation and open space stewardship in Cherry Hills Village. Since late 2021, in a partnership with the City of Cherry Hills Village, Cherry Hills Land Preserve has focused on revitalizing Quincy Farm to transform this long-dormant property into a vibrant community asset that connects people to nature and history.
The Project
Built in the 1930s, this historic barn serves as the centerpiece for educational programs and community events at Quincy Farm. This iconic structure has witnessed countless memories, hosted many horse and nature-related activities in the last few years, and is becoming an important feature of the annual Cherry Hills Land Preserve's Barn Party. However, time has taken its toll on this historic treasure, and we’re thrilled to announce that the upcoming renovation project will commence in late summer/early fall 2024.
The thoughtful rehabilitation project addresses the Big Barn’s significant structural issues. Additionally, a larger interior gathering space will be created, while preserving the Barn’s historic character and original horse stalls (see Figures 1-3 below).
We want to inspire passion for Quincy Farm among new audiences and generate conversation about the dynamic between the past, present, and future — and the Big Barn is the centerpiece to make this happen.
