This presentation is to cover the efforts of the two groups working on the project and to give a history of the Autobees settlement. In addition, it will show the work to develop a proposal to the Colorado State Historical Society, to do an Archaeological survey and then designate the area as an Archaeological Site.
Artifacts found on the site and photos of Archaeological search for old building foundations will be covered. This site in 1853 was the first permanent Mexican settlement on Colorado’s Eastern slope, under the Las Animas, Vigil & St. Vrain Land Grant, located on the Huerfano and Arkansas River.

Please note this message is primary for our Southern California group members. As you know Covid- 19 has made many businesses and organization to revamp their services. We had to do the same, since our meeting place was closed due to state, county and city regulations. We are proud to announce that as of the 6th of July, SCGS will reopen their doors. We housed our collection of genealogy books and guides at their location. Just like us, they are a volunteer run organization. They are trying to find adequate man power to provide coverage for full capacity and hours. Please note like all businesses, they do not have enough individuals to do the work, yet alone these are elderly individuals volunteering. Please be patient and gracious.
As a group, we will not be able to meet
until restriction have been lifted by the SCGS Board. But individuals can go in
and research the library. Please call to see what if any restrictions there may
be or what hours and days they are planning to be open.
