While reviewing a recent collection submitted for donation, we ran across an old b&w photo of a little girl standing between two white horses. The animals are wearing a crest with the initials of the Alamosa Fire Dept. on their heads and she's wearing a fire helmet. One can clearly see our local railway system and Mt. Blanca in the background. We believe that photo was taken in the mid-late 1920's.
Our Board of Directors voted to frame and donate the "Home Team" collectable to our Alamosa Fire Department on behalf of The San Luis Valley Museum.
Accepting this small honor was Bill Stone, Fire Chief.
Presented by Jeff Myers, Museum Director.
