2 COLORDO CORKS & CUISINE Thurs., May 22, :30-8:30pm Colorado Corks & Cuisine is Denver s annual food and wine tasting event benefitting Four Mile Historic Park. Held towards the end of May each year, this event signals the start of the summer event season for Denver s food and drink enthusiasts! Showcasing local wine makers, brewers, distillers, and culinary artists, guests shake up their week and welcome summertime while sampling the fare and raising funds for historic preservation maintenance on the Four Mile House Museum, underprivileged youth to attend Four Mile Historic Park s many programs throughout the year, and to provide the community with interactive experiences year-round. Located along the Cherry Creek and open since 1978, Four Mile Historic Park, both a Denver Landmark and National Historic Place, provides the Denver community with a 12-acre park to discover and enjoy early Colorado life by preserving and interpreting Colorado s western rural heritage through interactive educational opportunities. Check out photos from 2013: ABOUT FOUR MILE HISTORIC PARK MISSION The mission of Four Mile Historic Park is to educate, preserve, and interpret the western rural heritage of Colorado to a diverse public. HISTORY Nestled on the banks of Cherry Creek, the Four Mile House was the last stop coming west to Denver along the Cherokee Trail. It was a welcome site for the weary travelers, a place to wash off the trail dust, have a drink of cool fresh water, find a home-cooked meal, or spend the night before heading in to Denver. The house was built in 1859 by the Brantner brothers who planned to settle in the area. The Brantners sold the Four Mile House to the widow Mary Cawker in Mary and her two teenage children opened the house as a stage stop from 1860 to 1864, when she sold the property to Levi and Mille Booth. The Booths continued to offer the same hospitality to travelers, while building a thriving farm. The arrival of the railroads in 1870 eventually ended much of the stage and freight business, but the Booths property grew to 600 acres. The Booth family continued to live on and work the land until the 1940s. In 1975 the City of Denver purchased the house and the remaining 12 acres of the farm, designating the property a Denver City Park. With the support of a number of organizations including the Park People and Junior League, Four Mile House was restored and the Park was opened to the public in Today, our twelve-acre site-four Mile Historic Park (FMHP), serves as a portal into Denver and the West's pioneer past. The Four Mile House, a Denver Landmark, is the centerpiece of the Park and is listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places. Year round, we offer programs and events for children of all ages, giving them a unique vehicle for a journey into the past where they learn about the history of Colorado, westward expansion, the brave people who settled the West, and the historical significance of this site.
