Hutchinson Homestead & Ranch

Season 7 Episode 7 | 56m 40s | CC

Colorado’s pioneering spirit is alive and well at the Hutchinson Homestead and Ranch, just outside of Salida. Cattle ranching since before statehood, the seventh generation Hutchinson family still ranches on the same land. Their preserved 1873 two-story homestead and 9 outbuildings are a testament to both the family’s fortitude and high country ranching.
