Events such as the Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Fiesta Days, the La Plata County Fair, Durango Heritage Celebration, the Animas Museum, Durango Farmers Market, La Plata County 4-H program and the Durango High School award-winning Future Farmers of America chapter support the fact that Durango’s original economy was built on agriculture, mining and the train. Each of these organizations cover a different aspect of that history and add to the richness of this town we all love.

Let’s not forget our past as we move toward the future.
