Salt Works Ranch, Historic ranch in Park County, United States
Salt Works Ranch extends over 400 acres of irrigated hay meadow with water rights from Salt Creek, featuring a Second Empire style main house from 1872.
The ranch, established in 1862 near Hartsel, received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 for its agricultural and architectural significance.
The property contains seventeen buildings, two structures, and multiple log cabins that reflect the development of ranching practices in Colorado during the 19th century.
Tours of the ranch grounds and historical structures require advance arrangements with the property owners through official communication channels.
Natural saline springs on the property led to its name and contributed to a conservation easement covering 550 acres held by Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust.
