Another beautiful day here at the TP. Getting ready for fathers day, Hopefully we will have a good crowd as we have a good gun fight planned.
Yesterday we had a 86 year old gentleman come by and spend some time with us. He was very interesting and could tell some amazing stories. He used to be a horse trainer but decided to stop that about six years ago. But he does the most amazing bead work. Just like the Native Americans used to do, with the tiny seed beads. He left several items on consignment with us. Some brackets, chokers, bolos ties, bags and even a gun scabbard. Some really beautiful stuff you all will have to come by and see it. He might come and spend some weekends with us demonstrating how he does his work and telling stories. I hope he does and I will keep you posted as to when he will be here.

The White Mountain Trading Post is a FREE living history museum in south central Colorado, in the town of Fort Garland. We do daily gunfights during the summer as well as many reenactments of traditional arts and crafts such as blacksmithing, spinning, silver working, flint knapping, soap making and a host of others. We are all volunteers and we are constantly looking for more people of all ages and interests to help us preserve history.
