It will be a season of springtime fun!!
Hop on the wagon ride and enjoy the views on a scenic nature loop, try your skill with some tomahawk throwing, or visit our friends at the petting zoo! Enjoy a lively hoedown or pick up an instrument and join the jug band, paint a spring craft to keep, dip your very own lilac themed candle the old fashioned way, and so much more!
Our very own Jesse Cross, dance caller and music man extraordinaire, will be playing live during various times to lead any willing kids and adults through the most fun jug band hootenanny you ever did see!
Walk through organic lilac groves and enjoy the sweet smells and beautiful views of the surrounding Julian area! We will have some beautifully fragrant lilac stems available for purchase once they bloom and until we run out! Potted lilacs are also available to take home and plant!
This old mining town has attracted people from all over because of its rich history, old time rustic charm, and of course the pies.
Back in the 1960's, the area that is surrounding Fort Cross was famous for their lilacs. It's our goal to bring that same excitement and experience back to the area! With a few acres of beautiful lilac groves, we look forward to the possibilities!
