Sedalia is a small Front Range town located 30 miles south of Denver off HWY 85. With a quaint and historic downtown, Sedalia is surrounded by classic Colorado beauty.

The town resides at 5,840 feet in Douglas County. At the time of 2010 the little town had a population of only 206. There’s been a Sedalia Post Office in town since 1872, with a zip code of 80135. It drew its name from Sedalia, Missouri.

Main Attractions

Cherokee Ranch & Castle – Although not open to the public, Cherokee Ranch & Castle is a popular destination for those planning a wedding or large group event. The main draw is the ranch’s Scottish-style castle, perched atop a hill, where it houses 15th and 16th European art pieces.

Daniels Park – Listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places, Daniels Park borders Sedalia and Castle Pines. As a Denver Mountain Park, it offers expansive views of the Front Range and a chance to see a herd of bison. In fact, recently, $3.6 million was spent realigning the park for better viewing of the bison.

Downtown Sedalia – Blink and you might miss Sedalia’s main street. Where the past meets the present, downtown Sedalia offers a few local restaurants, antique shops, and the historic Sedalia Museum. For a quick burger head to Bud’s Cafe and Bar and for a more classic sit-down meal check out Gabriel’s Restaurant and Tuscan Bar.
