The town, with a population of approximately 300, may be tiny but it is host to one of Colorado’s largest and most popular summer (middle of June through early August) events, The Renaissance Festival.  The festival takes place in a large, wooded area within the town where an authentic 16th century village is assembled. The celebration is complete with jousters, jesters, magicians and minstrels. Larkspur is also known for its golf communities, Bear Dance and Perry Park.
 
Larkspur is served by the Douglas County School District and Larkspur Elementary School, ranked one of the best in the state, is in the town itself.

History of Larkspur

In 1862, after D.C. Oakes established the first sawmill in Larkspur, the town  became a major lumbering community supplying railroad ties, telegraph poles, firewood and other lumber materials to communities near and far. Gypsum, red sandstone and potash mining became a second industry in Larkspur and both flourished with the spread of railroads.

 In 1871, the governor’s wife, Elizabeth Hunt, named the town Larkspur after the beautiful, blue wildflowers growing there.  In 1876, the Plum Creek Toll Road company established a toll road south of Larkspur and soon after that, John D. Perry, a railroad owner from Missouri, purchased several homesteads and a ranch. Perry, who was also founder of Red Stone Town Land and Mining Company planned to build a health resort community which later came to be known as Perry Park. Soon residents of Denver and Colorado Springs were taking trains to Larkspur to enjoy the fresh mountain air. In 1896, a new school and post office were built and by the turn of the century the small ranching community boasted two sawmills, a blacksmith shop, hotel, two general stores and a casino.

Today Larkspur is known for commemorating another period in history. An annual Renaissance Festival is held each summer in the town where the 16th century is celebrated in costume, architecture, song, food and entertainment.
