This year, we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary, and we’re doing it in style. Join us at dozens of events and explore all three of our properties this summer!

Buena Vista Heritage wants to acknowledge that all of our properties rest on land that once was the ancestral homelands of the people of the Ute, Apache, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Nations. We try to honor that heritage through telling the stories of those who lived here before.

Buena Vista Heritage is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit organization that preserves and shares the history of Buena Vista and Chaffee County. Through education, conservation, and community involvement, we endeavor to ignite curiosity and foster understanding in current and future generations.
