Littleton Is Dog-Friendly

Posted on September 20, 2020February 22, 2022 by Guest Blogger

The City of Littleton is going to the dogs! With many pet-friendly businesses and miles of parks and trails, the City of Littleton is a perfect place for your furry friends.

Have you met Littleton’s Dog Mayor? Murdoch, a 5-year old basset hound, won the election to be Littleton’s first-ever dog mayor in the November 2021 election. The election was hosted by Historic Littleton and more than 6,000 votes were cast. Murdoch will be featured at select city events and Historic Littleton Tours throughout the year.

The City of Littleton and South Suburban Parks and Recreation (SSPR) welcome your pets. Visit the South Platte Park and Mary Carter Greenway Trails located just one block west of Aspen Grove. While visiting, please remember to keep your dogs on-leash when outside of designated dog parks. Leashes should be less than six feet long. Also, please always pick up after pets.

Many know that our pets are furry members of the family and the City of Littleton wants to encourage residents and visitors to bring them out when you are enjoying our city.

Littleton Museum

Posted on July 15, 2020July 22, 2020 by AspenGrove

Minutes away from Aspen Grove you’ll find the Littleton Museum.

For more than 40 years, the Littleton Museum has served as the primary repository for the history, art, and culture of Littleton. This special place offers visitors a unique link between Littleton’s past and present. Located on 40 acres adjacent to Ketring Lake, it encompasses three exhibition galleries, a children’s interactive gallery, a research center, a lecture hall, and two 19th-century living history farm sites.

The 1860s homestead farm and the 1890s turn-of-the-century urban farm represent how people lived and worked during the early years in Littleton and the South Platte Valley. Museum staff and volunteers dressed in period-appropriate costumes, work on the farm sites, run the working blacksmith shop, and teach in Littleton’s first one-room schoolhouse, offering a “living history’ perspective to the museum visitor.

Check out everything this special museum has to offer.
