Ewing Farm

The Ewing Farm buildings are all that remains of a historic Boulder County homestead settled 120 years ago at what was then called “Eight-Mile Corner,” now 95th and Arapahoe streets in Lafayette. 

The Ewing family and farmhouse on August 14, 1904, eighteen years after it was completed in 1886. The view is to the west, from what is now 95th Street.

The Book Arts League has partnered with the City of Lafayette to preserve the historic structures and provide for their maintenance while using the Farm as headquarters and studio. The League worked with the Lafayette City Manager and Historic Preservation Board to secure Colorado State Historical Society grants for the rehabilitation of the Farm.

The Farmhouse is lifted to allow the construction of a stable foundation.

This partnership with the City allows the League to continue its mission as a community resource for the traditional and contemporary arts and crafts of the book while providing a permanent home for our antique letterpress collection.

The League would like to thank the City of Lafayette and the Historic Preservation Board for their steadfast support of this project and the Ridge at Cross Creek HOA for its decision to allow the project to continue by transferring ownership to the City.
