About the Tourism Board
Colorado's Front Range
Brick storefronts and grain silos, ridge-top trails, a supper club with a neon sign and a festival calendar that never sits still. Larkspur County is ready when you are.
Coming up
Fri, October 16 – Sat, October 17, 2026, 10am – 8pm
The county's biggest weekend: a pumpkin regatta on the mill pond, pie contests judged by the fire brigade, two stages of music, and the lantern parade down Olde Wadsworth at dusk.
Don't miss
Outdoor & Nature
Climb the spiral stair of the 1911 municipal water tower for the best free view in the county — grain silos to the east, fourteeners to the west, and all of Olde Larkspur at your feet.
5750 Olde Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada
Arts & Culture
Three floors of prairie stories: a homestead kitchen you can walk through, a working telegraph desk, and the county's beloved two-headed calf. The rooftop gallery frames the Front Range panorama.
7307 Grandview Ave, Arvada
Entertainment
An 1898 opera house restored to its velvet-and-gaslight glory, now hosting chamber concerts, silent films with live organ, and the county spelling bee. Tours run whenever the ghost light is on.
5665 Olde Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada
Arts & Culture
Two decommissioned grain silos re-rigged as playable instruments — one a giant reverberating drum, the other a wind harp that hums in the afternoon chinook. Bring mallets or borrow a pair.
7350 W 57th Ave, Arvada
Amusement & Theme Park
A 15-inch-gauge railroad that loops families past a miniature Larkspur County — tiny depot, tiny silos, tiny cows. Conductors blow the whistle at every crossing whether they need to or not.
7495 W 57th Ave, Arvada
Renata Solis
A three-story mural of a western meadowlark lifting off a fencepost, painted across the north wall of the old feed store. At golden hour the whole wall seems to catch fire.

Founded by volunteers in a farmhouse parlor, the Larkspur County Historical Society preserves and interprets the story of Larkspur County — from territorial-road waystation to flour-milling center to streetcar suburb. The Society maintains the Harlan House Museum, stewards more than a dozen landmark sites across Olde Larkspur, and leads the Olde Larkspur Heritage Walk. Its archive of photographs, deeds, and oral histories is open to researchers by appointment.

From the Nature Center on Indiana Street, the Society maintains a growing trail network, runs raptor watches and native-seed workshops, and staffs the Cattail Marsh boardwalk with volunteer naturalists. Every membership and program fee goes back into habitat restoration and free field trips for county schools.
