Step back in time at the historic McCoy-Hare House! Built in 1873–74 by Dr. James McCoy as Westminster's very first Colony Drugstore, this charming little white cottage is one of Orange County's true treasures — designated Historical Landmark number 8. Right next to the McCoy-Hare House is our 1904 windmill. Come visit on the first Sunday of each month from 1 to 4 pm.

A glimpse into 1895: a pink silk skirt and Eton jacket, styled to depict Katherine Lee Bates as she writes America the Beautiful, inspired by her hike up Pikes Peak.
