Keenesburg is a quiet, agricultural town situated in Weld County within the expansive high plains of northeastern Colorado. Established along the historic lines of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in the early 20th century, the town has transitioned from a purely farming and ranching hub into a globally recognized sanctuary destination, famous for hosting the world's large-scale open-air carnivorous animal refuge.
