Four Mile Historic Park is a great resource for educators and students when learning about Colorado’s rich history. Whether it is through a field trip experience at the Park or a traveling trunk in your classroom, our special programming dives into the subjects of cultural history, natural history and more! All programs are designed to meet select Colorado Academic Standards.
We offer our Traveling Trunks as both in person and virtual formats. For in-person presentations, a Four Mile educator comes to your school or facility with a trunk.
Schedule your program in a snap! Here’s how:
1. Begin by narrowing down the dates that work best for your classroom schedule

For on-site programs, we require a 1:10 ratio of adults to students; these adults, as well as any providing one-on-one support to a student with disabilities, are free. Additional adults will be charged. All programs are assisted by a Four Mile Educator. Review our pricing guide here. Contact our education department for more information.

We offer flexible options to meet the needs of you and your students, wherever you are.
Thanks to SCFD Funding, Four Mile is able to provide reduced programming fees, and in some cases free education programs, to the seven SCFD funded counties.

Designed to reflect the diverse population of the state, this program explores the achievements and contributions women have made to Colorado history, from Mary Cawker and Millie Booth of the Four Mile House up to the present day.
The Indigenous Peoples
What was it like to live on a farm in 1859, the year the Four Mile House was built? With our Homestead Trunk, your students will be able to compare the ways of our time to a much different era of washboards, candle-makers, buffalo chips, and much more.
With this living history experience, your students will take a trip back in time to the days of chalk, slates, and much stricter discipline in the one-room schoolhouse. Work through practical problems, arithmetic, tongue twisters, and more.
