About the Hutchinson Homestead & Learning Center

The Hutchinson Homestead & Learning Center is a heritage site that bridges the past to the future of agriculture in our community. Operated by Guidestone Colorado in partnership with the Town of Poncha Springs and the Hutchinson Family, the site serves as a dynamic historical, cultural, and agricultural education center for current and future generations.

Guidestone first became involved at the Homestead in 2011 through Farmhands children’s programming, and since 2015 has served as the lead organization managing operations, educational programming, and community events at the site.

Why Volunteer?

This is a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys:

  • Local history and heritage

  • Agriculture and land stewardship

  • Community engagement

  • Education and storytelling

  • Spending time outdoors in a beautiful setting

Friendly, reliable volunteers of all backgrounds are encouraged to participate.
