Boettcher Mansion Jefferson County's Premier Historic Events Venue

The Boettcher Mansion provides a rare combination of historic authenticity and modern amenities from its secluded setting inside the Lookout Mountain Nature Preserve in Golden, CO, only a half-hour drive west of Denver. Built in 1917 as a summer home and seasonal hunting lodge for Charles Boettcher, the former “Lorraine Lodge” was donated to Jefferson County in the 1970s for public use and enjoyme

nt. In 1984, the Arts and Crafts estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places External Link Icon and now serves as Jeffco’s premier historic events venue. A division within the Jefferson County Parks department, the Mansion is self-sustaining, supporting itself primarily from event fees. An impressive example of adaptive re-use, the one-time family residence is perfectly suited for all kinds of social gatherings, including weddings, receptions and commitment ceremonies, along with memorial services and other commemorative milestones. Carefully preserved and sensitively updated in 2005-07, this rustic yet polished architectural gem offers a stunning backdrop for conferences, dances, executive retreats, family reunions, film shoots, fundraisers, lectures, musical performances and trade shows…to name just a few of our ongoing functions.

In 1984, Boettcher Mansion was officially added to the National Register of Historic Places, preserving its legacy and architectural character for generations to come.

Today, it continues to serve visitors as a public space for tours and private events. It blends history with modern life and is one of the most scenic spots in Jefferson County.

If you’ve ever visited, you know this place is something special. And if you haven’t, it’s worth the trip! Boettcher Mansion is open Monday through Thursday from 8am – 4pm. Please call ahead as hours are subject to change.

✨ Volunteer of the Month ✨

Claudia joined the volunteer gardener team here in April 2023, and since then, has contributed more hours than any other volunteer, totaling over 1250 hours!

Claudia is reliable, dependable, and consistently goes above and beyond. She trains the new volunteer gardeners and takes it upon herself to care for the grounds, demonstrating how deeply she values her volunteer role and the Boettcher Mansion property.

Her expertise and knowledge are truly invaluable; the grounds would not look as beautiful as they do today without her dedication and hard work!

While the Boettcher Mansion and Lookout Mountain Preserve are closed for February, we’ve definitely not been slowing down!

We’ve been busy cleaning up our defensible space, and with the help of the Parks & Open Space Natural Resource team, the work has been done thoughtfully and intentionally, keeping nature, wildlife, and the beauty of this special place front and center.

We can’t wait to welcome visitors back when we reopen! Come check out the refreshed landscape and take a peek inside to see what we’ve been working on in the interior - see you soon!
