Beautifully done. Amache is a National Historic site that has gone through significant changes in…read moreterms of layout and information. You can visit the site by driving through the different marked areas. You can walk, but it is expansive, as it was intended to be. There is an audio tour that you can scan QR codes for if you're so inclined to listen to while you drive to the stops. There are signs at the stops that tell you what you are seeing or what building was placed in that location in the 1940s. Keep in mind, most of Amache was torn down after the war ended, but foundational pieces and a few reconstructed pieces remain. The cemetery remains intact since camp's inception. Great way to show one of history's more hidden events. Highly recommend!

This place is cringe. Non-native "scouts" performing Native American dances? It's just really weird…read moreand pretty offensive. I couldn't wait for the performance to be over so I could get outta there

This museum should in no way be called an Indian museum. If anything it should be called a fetish…read moremuseum because that's the feel I got from it. Most of the artifacts look to be gathered from gift shops, "Indian trading posts" or roadside souvenir stands by someone fascinated by someone else's culture. While there I also learned about the Koshare Dancers. Non native/tribal member Boy Scouts playing dress up and putting on performances of dances that are not theirs to steal. As someone who grew up in Boy Scouts I am very saddened to find out that they have repeatedly been told to end their dances but have not. They do not respect the cultures they stole from if they continue their performances. This goes against the Scouts Law to be trustworthy, courteous, kind or obedient enough to honor the tribal requests.

What caught our eye was the weathered 1800s cabin, jail cages and wagon next to the museum. We thought..."this could be interesting"-and it was! Monty McCanless, who is a tireless worker and member of the Historical Society, gave us a personal tour. First, the 1800s kitchen complete with wood burning stove, side board, table, utensils and pantry staples. There is much in this museum that relates to early pioneering women: their dress, quilting, and a club -The International Federation of Women's Club (that my mom belonged to several states west) scrapbooks and memorabilia. Fowler blossomed with introduction of a canal and sophisticated irrigation systems in the 1800s. You see pictures of the irrigation pipes as well as the pipes and maps. Many trades, occupations are chronicled. There are doctor and optometrist tools, branding irons and brands, saddles of popular locals, inside of a post office, old electric gas station signs, sharks tooth and arrowhead collections and a few Native American artifacts. This hardly scratches the surface of what's there...well displayed BTW.

Las Animas nearly died due to Covid, the sad fact that history gets lost when little towns suffer…read morefinancially. Somehow this museum survived. Make sure you set aside a couple of hours when you come to visit. The history of Las Animas and the characters that made the town are well documented here. The tour guide at the museum is a wealth of knowledge, and the presentation is simply spell binding. If you have noticed the museum and wondered, make a point to go. Enjoy and learn of Las Animas' unique yet important place in the history of Colirado. If you think you will be boared, you are soo wrong, this place is well done and fascinating.
