Near one of the numerous Castlewood Canyon parking lots you will find the ruins of Lucas Homestead. The Lucas were among the first Irish immigrants to settle south of Denver.

Patrick and Margaret Lucas were born in Ireland, but met and married in Arizona. In 1894, they were among the first landowners in the area, settling on 160 acres in
this site in the park.

They came to settle here for what reasons? Economic or for the beauty of the place?
