December Monthly Theme

Victorian Holiday Traditions

Victorian holiday traditions were filled with warmth, charm, and creativity. Christmas, in particular, became a time of elaborate decorations, including the first Christmas trees adorned with candles and handmade ornaments. Families exchanged thoughtful gifts, often handcrafted or sentimental, and holiday cards featuring elaborate designs became popular. The season was marked by festive feasts, caroling, and parties, with the spirit of generosity and togetherness at the heart of the celebrations.

End of Year Giving

Ensure Future Generations Experience History

Help make history accessible and enjoyable by preserving Four Mile Historic Park as Denver’s premier destination for Western storytelling. This year alone, over 10,000 students have experienced the rich history of Four Mile Historic Park firsthand—a number that includes a remarkable 24% increase in students from Title 1 schools. With your support, we can grow our reach even further, creating opportunities for more students and building partnerships that deepen our impact. A gift of $400 covers the full cost of a field trip for up to 100 students, making a life-changing experience accessible to those who might not otherwise have the chance to connect with history. Join us in making a difference, one field trip at a time!

Students tailor their experience in the “Four Mile Sampler” by selecting from various activities, including butter-making and exploring Four Mile’s many outbuildings. In “Cherry Creek Traveler,” students explore preparations families made for the journey west, examining wagons and essentials for the trip. “Four Mile Farm Life” comprises five activities that guide students through a morning at a 19th-century farmhouse.
