The Heritage School at Trinidad State
SOUTHERN COLORADO FEATURES A RICH HERITAGE, WITH PIONEER SPIRIT AND INGENUITY!
At The Heritage School at Trinidad State we promote and preserve traditional knowledge, skills, technologies, crafts and art
forms of the past and apply them to modern life. If you’ve ever wondered how cheese
is made, marveled at the skill of a blacksmith or felt the creative urge to work with
leather, raise bees or make soap, we’ll have something for you. Join us as we bridge
the gap between functional crafts and creative arts, hands-on learning and fun. We’ll
invite neighbors to pass along skills that might otherwise be lost, as well as experts
and instructors from afar to share their knowledge.
