Grant-Frontier Park

Grant-Frontier Park is a park and historical site on the east bank of the South Platte River in southwest Denver. It marks the location of Montana City, the first settlement in the Denver area. The park was named after Grant Junior High School, whose teachers and students discovered and restored the site. Visitors can explore reconstructed and historical artifacts from 1858, including a log cabin with a sod roof, a Conestoga wagon, and placer mining devices such as a sluice and rocker box. This outdoor exhibit offers a hands-on glimpse into pioneer life and the early gold rush era.
