Manage episode 380457991 series 3003280
Welcome to Las Animas, Colorado, "The City of Souls!" Las Animas is the county seat of Bent County and is located in southeast Colorado. Las Animas means "the souls" in Spanish. According to one legend, the town is named after a group of conquistadors who died without the last rites sacrament of a priest while exploring the area in the 16th century. The area is home to several important sites including the historic town of Boggsville and the John Martin Reservoir. Bent's Old Fort is also located nearby. The fort is a reconstructed adobe fur trading post. The original fort was built in 1833 and was the only major permanent US settlement on the Santa Fe Trail at the time. The original structure was destroyed in 1849 but was reconstructed as an historic site in 1976. We hope you enjoy our visit to Las Animas!
