Juan Montes Vigil - Announcement from Fray Angelico Chavez Chapter of the the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America 7/12/2019

This is really exciting to hear that I am part of a family that has some very important contributions to this Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in the United States. I would love to know more about the exhibit at Pueblo Heritage Museum here in Colorado. May I have the details concerning this, please.

Thank you,

Edward Vigil

THE LEGACY TRUNK PROGRAM

The Southeastern Colorado Heritage Center (SCHC) is devoted to celebrating, preserving, & educating the public about the diverse heritage and history of Pueblo and the surrounding area. The hands-on use of historical and contemporary objects provides an engaging forum for learning about the many different cultures that have contributed in the past and continue to contribute to Pueblo's diversity. Currently the Heritage Center has an extensive gallery with over 20 different exhibits covering such diverse subjects as Railroads, Pueblo's immigrant experience, an 1840's trading post, Baseball and Runyon Field, Pueblo as the Saddle Capital of the world, and a unique collection of antique telephones and rural telephone development in Pueblo County.
