Believed to be one of the oldest communities in Bent County second to Bent's Fort. It is presently a designated historical site and is undergoing renovation to restore it as a tourist attraction. The main structure which was the home of Thomas Boggs and another two story building which was used much like a hotel are the only buildings remaining. Kit Carson, the famous Indian and Army Scout and early explorer, lived at this community for a time. A postcard picture of what his residents look like is inserted below.
