History of El Pueblo

Jeremy Morton gave a tour of the El Pueblo History Museum and spoke about the history of the trading post that eventually became the city of Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo’s location on the Arkansas River made it a crossroads for the Southwest. A reconstructed trading post outside of the museum helps visitors understand what life was like for the region’s early settlers.
