- Established: 1894
- Architectural style: Vernacular
- Areas of significance: Agriculture; Architecture; Exploration/Settlement
- Area: 155 acres
- Also known as: Bee Farm (historic name)
- Date added to NRHP: 11/25/2002
- Other designations: U.S. Historic District; listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties
- Notes: The Bee Farm is associated with pioneer settlement in the Boxelder Valley and the development of agriculture in Larimer County and the high plains of Colorado. Extant buildings and structures represent 87 years of construction, beginning with the original homestead house in 1894 and ending with the large machine shed and shop constructed in 1981. The variety of building types and materials reveal the extent to which the area’s farmers utilized secondhand building materials and do-it-yourself techniques. In addition, the spatial arrangement of the agricultural outbuildings on the approximately 155 acre site is typical of Larimer County and northeastern Colorado farming and ranching operations. Today, the farm is open to the public as a living history museum.
