Welcome to Sterling, Colorado. This land of prairie breezes is an artist's dream, platted in 1887 and located just off I-76 between Denver and the Nebraska state line. In addition to the I-76 connection, Sterling is also a junction with Highway 14 (west), Highway 6 (east) and Highway 61 (south) as well as the old scenic Highway 138/Highway 6 roads that preceded the interstate. The old highways follow the South Platte River and the Union Pacific Railroad through northeast Colorado.
Sterling boasts warm, sunny summers and mild, sunny winters with an average of 331 clear, sunny days a year!
As you travel through this area, you'll see native grasslands, majestic bluffs and rolling hills - all a part of the historic Lower South Platte River Valley. You'll delight in the serene qualities of the natural landscape, the wonders of small-town living and the friendly atmosphere of an agricultural-based community filled with hometown values.
The county seat of Logan County, Sterling is a dignified presence on the prairie - deemed both the "Mecca" and the "Crossroads" of the Plains. A drive through this town of just over 13,000 people is an exploration of early western American architecture. Many of the historic buildings here are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Logan County Courthouse was built in 1910. The old library, now a private home, was built with the aid of a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation in 1918. The retired Union Pacific Depot, built in 1902, was moved to its present site in 1984 and houses the Logan County Chamber of Commerce office in Downtown Sterling.
This "Colorado Treasure" is also known for its collection of Living Trees. All around town are cottonwoods that have been carved into fanciful creatures and heavenly angels. The artist, Bradford Rhea, lives and sculpts in nearby Merino. In addition to trees, Rhea also carves his inspirations into huge blocks of marble and transforms bronze into works of art. One of his early carvings, called Metamorphosis, greets visitors to the Tourist Information Center just east of Sterling and a drive through town will take you up close to nine more awe-inspiring works of art.

Attractions
The Overland Trail Museum takes you back in time with the history of America's migration to the west. This replica of an old fort houses artifacts, memorabilia and collections of early life on the prairie. In addition to the main museum, 14 buildings have been added to the property including an 1891 one-room school house, a country church, a general store, a 1915 stone block house, a 1910 barn and the newest addition, the High Plains Education Center, added in 2011.
There are two beautiful 18-hole golf courses on which to spend the afternoon, more than 60 acres of parks, both indoor and outdoor pools plus water park, one of America's last drive-in theaters and a small fishing pond with nature trail. Nearby North Sterling Reservoir State Park is a boater's paradise with 3,000 acres of pristine water. Clean, modern facilities offer camping (141 sites), picnicking, swimming, hiking and great fishing. Sterling is also hunting headquarters for northeast Colorado and was named by "Pheasants Forever" as one of the top ten best pheasant hunting towns in America!
