The Wise Homestead dates back to 1869, when Oliver Wise, his wife Adaline (Ada), and their three children came across the plains from Wisconsin to settle in Colorado. Oliver built a small log cabin and began farming the land. In 1870, he was granted a U.S. Homestead Patent on the property and began building a permanent farmhouse.
