CRC offers “Making the Ask” workshop Even in economically challenging times, people contribute to charitable causes. This is the basis for a workshop that the Community Resource Center is bringing to the Southeast Region in November. CRC will offer ―Making the Ask‖ from 1-4 p.m. Nov. 2 at the Rocky Ford Business and Arts Incubator and Entrepreneurship Center, 408 North Main Street in Rocky Ford. The cost of the workshop, which will be taught by CRC’s Director of Programs Maria Fabula, is $35.

Understand the critical components of ―the ask‖ and practice your approach to increase confidence. This interactive learning experience will help attendees: Gain solicitation skills that will improve effectiveness in closing gifts; Build a greater confidence in responding to and overcoming objections from donors; and Gather ideas for assembling the best solicitation teams within your organization For questions on the workshop, please contact Latia Shaw at [email protected] or call (303)623- 1540, extension 16.

Funds, which will be used to make improvements along the Trail, were part of $15.3 million received by Colorado for highway projects. ―Transportation investments like these will create jobs and improve the quality of life for Colorado residents as well as strengthen the state's economy. The demand from the states for these funds shows just how critical the need is for infrastructure investment,‖ said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in announcing the awards. The Santa Fe Trail was designated as a Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway in 1992 and a Corridor Management Plan (CMP) was completed in 1997. The Corridor Management Plan is the blueprint for the future of the Santa Fe Trail Byway Corridor. It has outlined specific activities and objectives to promote and maintain the historical and cultural significance of the Byway. It is this vision and the direction from the State of Colorado that has continued to foster the historical and cultural significance of the Santa Fe Trail Byway. The Byway received 501c3 non profit status in 2005 and the ASHTO American State Highway Transportation Officials Award for Excellence in Marketing in 2009. The Scenic Byway grant for 2011 will enhance the experience of travelers and visitors through direct and indirect benefits throughout byway communities. The Byway includes five counties: Las Animas, Otero, Bent, Baca and Prowers. Projects for the cities of Trinidad, Lamar, La Junta and Las Animas are planned with 2011 funding. Funding will be used for two signs for Kit Carson Chapel at Fort Lyon; two signs and an exhibit for the kiosk at La Junta Railway Depot; an indoor exhibit for Big Timbers Museum in Lamar and a three-panel interpretive sign for their new buggy museum; four signs for Trinidad Gateway at the Colorado Welcome Center; a Santa Fe Trail Children's Activity book; and three Santa Fe Trail brochures about Native Americans, Byway Museums and Transportation —Then and Now. An additional $15,000 match will be cash and in-kind services from the Byway Organization and local contributors. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) invited states to apply in June for federal funding from 14 grant programs. More than 1,800 applications were submitted, totaling nearly $13 billion, more than 30 times the funding available. Visit the Colorado's Santa Fe Trail Scenic and Historic Byway web site at www.santafetrailco.com or come by the State Byway Visitors Center at Trinidad History Museum for more information on the Santa Fe Trail, Colorado Byways and America’s Byways.

  • Historic Trail Map of the Trinidad 1 by 2 Degree Quadrangle, Southern Colorado
    Historic Trail Map of the Trinidad 1 by 2 degree Quadrangle, Southern Colorado By Glenn R. Scott Prepared in cooperation with the Denver Public Library, Western History and Genealogy Department Pamphlet to accompany Geologic Investigations Series I-2745 2002 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1 INTRODUCTION Colorado contains the equivalent of 14 areas the size of the Trinidad quadrangle and each area contains about 7,200 square miles. The Trinidad quadrangle contains all or parts of nine counties, named here with their dates of founding: Alamosa March 8,1913 Conejos November 7, 1861 Costilla November 1, 1861 Custer March 9, 1877 Huerfano November 1, 1861 Las Animas February 9, 1866 Otero March 25, 1889 Pueblo November 1, 1861 Saguache December 29, 1866 The formal Colorado Territory was established on February 28, 1861, and Colorado officially became a state in 1876. Settlement of the Trinidad area had started in the 1840’s when Hispanic people moved northward into the area from New Mexico. There were animal trails and a few established walking or horseback trails but no wagon trails at that time. In the mountains, access was difficult for all travelers because of the bouldery valley bottoms. Many of the historic trails in the Trinidad quadrangle were used by Indians long before the white man reached the area. The earliest recorded use of the trails by white men in the Trinidad area was in the 1500’s. The Spaniards continued to visit the area into the 1700’s. The rivers and creeks of the area were traversed by fur trappers and traders in the 1830's and 1840's in the search for beaver pelts.
