About

At the Museums of Western Colorado’s Cross Orchards Historic Site, you have the opportunity to step back in time. Stroll around the beautiful grounds and experience historic buildings, railroad cars, vintage equipment, and agricultural heritage. The large 1890s built barn/packing shed and bunkhouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Wedding ceremonies typically take place on our picnic lawn, which is shaped like a natural amptitheatre and houses a modern gazebo complete with overhead lighting and electrical outlets.

The floor of the historic packing shed/barn is 2,400 square feet alone and has additional space in the loading porch area-- making it perfect for a wedding reception.

If you'd like to set up a dance floor or shade tents, there are many open areas that are perfect for this, including a gravel area directly in front of the barn that's 3,000 square feet.

Cross Orchards wedding rentals also include access to the Bridal Suite, Orchard View Room, a kitchen with appliances, and modern restrooms that are located close to the barn.

Our perfect wedding day

My wedding day was perfect at cross orchards. It was a great price and had everything that my husband and I were wanting. The staff was amazing at answering all of our questions and when we wanted to see the venue before hand. They helped us find time to go

Amazing Partnership

We have been using Cross Orchards for our annual Political Event for several years now, the venue always offers everything that we need, an amazing well kept setting, a valuable low cost (compared to all others) and all the amenities that we ask for. Denise is always a pleasure to work with while booking the venue and answering the numerous questions I have!! and Matt Darling the museum curator, could not possible be more helpful and responsive when I need something! I really dont think we would every have this event anywhere else and I know our guests look forward to being there each and every year.

Beautiful spring wedding

I had my wedding there this past June and it was the most beautiful venue and the best people to work with! The grounds keeper met us over and over so we could see how we wanted to set up for the wedding. Everything was perfect!
