The Littleton Museum





Yesterday afternoon I drove from my condo across the street from the University of Denver to the Littleton Museum, one of my favorite spots in Colorado. It consists of a modern building with exhibits showing the history of the region, two historic farms, complete with farmhouses (one from the 1860s and one from the 1890s), and best of all, lots of farm animals, such as the sheep seen in the photograph on the left.







All of these animals are very friendly, and walk right up to you when you appear at the fences. And all are perfectly willing to pose for photographs, such as billy goat in the photograph on the right. The last time I was here, everyone was required to make an advance reservation, and could only stay for a limited time, but now all restrictions have been lifted. Plus, unlike the Four Mile House in Denver, which also features farm animals, the Littleton Museum is free. How great is that?
