| Colorado Historical Society Santa Fe Trail Museum Trinidad, Colorado |
| The first phase of the project was to renovate this historic adobe,
including the installation of non-instrusive mechanical and electrical
system upgrades, new ADA accommodations, and building stabilization. The
second phase was the design, fabrication, and installation of exhibits. The building's circuitry was expanded to accommodate additional exhibit lighting and a frame system was developed for exhibit hanging to avoid damaging the adobe walls. The new exhibitry was installed in the small, often tiny spaces to tell the history of Trinidad and the Santa Fe Trail. A common remark from first time visitors has been "I never expected to find such a fabulous museum in a small town like Trinidad." The exhibits have received very positive reponse from museum visitors. "I just want to let you know that visitors to the Santa Fe Trail Museum have enthusiastically responded to the beautiful exhibits you designed. Both locals and out-of-towners are delighted (and often surprised) to see such a "top notch" museum in an unexpected place! People love the exhibits, and many comment on their compatibility with the historic adobe where they are located."
