Best History Museum in Highlands Ranch

"Four Mile Historic Park tells the story of Denver's oldest standing structure and the 12 acres around it. Four Mile House (now Four Mile House Museum) was built in 1859. In 1860, a widow and her two teenage children opened it as a stage stop for weary travelers who could wash up and have a home-cooked meal or spend the night before traveling the last four miles into Denver."

"Four Mile Historic Park is located East of Downtown Denver along the Cherry Creek. This outdoor museum offers a look into Denver’s old western heritage. Similarly to Littleton Museum, there are animals, farm equipment and a recreated western lifestyle."

"Littleton Museum is another free museum in Denver that kids will love. There is a small museum on site with the history of the area and then a large working farm to explore!. There are pigs, steers, turkeys and more."

"One of the less visited Denver museums, the Mizel Museum offers a small but fascinating look at 4,000 years of Jewish history, along with a variety of visiting exhibitions. Note that tours of the museum are by appointment only."

"The French bistro styling and food at Bon Ami make this a place to visit and re-visit. And, with the reasonable menu prices, it's an affordable extravagance. With steak frites and ..."

"Combining old world flavors with classic French culinary techniques, Vert Kitchen is a French-inspired deli that serves gourmet sandwiches using sustainable meats, dairy and some of the finest pantry goods in Denver. Patrons squeeze into this tiny Washington Park West lunch-and-brunch counter for handmade sandwiches, garden-fresh salads, and delicious soups made from local and seasonal ingredients. It's the perfect stop when you get tired while exploring Denver attractions."

"Vert Kitchen has several fresh, healthy meals to choose from, and it’s one of the best French restaurants in Denver when you’re looking for market-fresh options. Breakfast options include the egg and cheese sandwich on a brioche bun with avocado, tomato, bacon, or turkey sausage. You can also try the frittata of the day or the fried eggs and bacon in tomato butter."

"From the outside, Tarasco's looks like any other taqueria on Federal Boulevard, squat and nondescript, wedged in between auto shops and check cashing stores. It looks like your average taqueria from the inside, too, albeit an especially homey one: yellow and red with lots of colorful folk art—ceramics and masks and humorous signs in Spanish—and souvenir postcards beneath glass-topped tables. But one glance at the menu, and you’ll see things a little differently."

"Sputnik is the place to go in Denver when you want a delicious breakfast or brunch without the meat. The breakfast burrito topped with stewed black beans and vegan cheese is delicious and filling, and the quesadilla with macaroni and “cheese” and a side is tasty, too. You’ll also love the veggie fajita with purple kale topped with avocado, and the Israeli falafel sandwich makes for a satisfying meal as well."

"The location operates as a bar and as a restaurant that doesn’t have a lot of traditional bar food. Instead, this eclectic joint offers more vegetarian and vegan alternatives. You can feast on rice bowls or Israeli falafel while enjoying the perks of a full espresso bar and free Wi-Fi."

"American , Vegetarian"

"This is a fast-casual vegan chain restaurant with locations in 4 states (California, Colorado, Chicago and Oregon). They serve salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups and desserts. They have a variety of signature plant-based proteins like their tempeh, seitan, ‘Native Chicken,’ ‘Native Bacon,’ and cashew cheese."

"The Lowdown: Native Foods Cafe is a convenient vegan option. Fast-casual and with plenty of American-style favorites, the restaurant is bound to have the typically meat-based meal you’re looking for. Scoop up the Rueben made with thinly sliced seitan for a tasty sandwich that doesn’t taste like a salad."
