Mary Cozens willed the property to the Jesuits at Regis College who renamed the property "Maryvale" and use it as a summer retreat from the 1920s to the 1980s. Cozens Ranch Museum 
In the early 1990s, the Jesuits gave the property to the Grand County Historical Association who then restored it to its 1870s conditions. It opened to the public in 1991 and has been continuously operated as a museum. The museum itself has twelve rooms of exhibits focusing on local history topics. It is currently the only history museum in the Winter Park-Fraser Area. The Cozens Ranch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1988. See also
