Main Attractions

Sedalia founded in 1882.

Cherokee Ranch & Castle – Although not open to the public, Cherokee Ranch & Castle is a popular destination for those planning a wedding or large group event. The main draw is the ranch’s Scottish-style castle, perched atop a hill, where it houses 15th and 16th European art pieces.

Daniels Park – Listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places, Daniels Park borders Sedalia and Castle Pines. As a Denver Mountain Park, it offers expansive views of the Front Range and a chance to see a herd of bison. In fact, recently, $3.6 million was spent realigning the park for better viewing of the bison.
