Article: Pueblo, Colo., Newspaper Publisher Aids Las Animas Museum Project.

Byline: Loretta Sword

Jan. 31--Pueblo Chieftain Publisher Robert H. Rawlings has fond memories of visiting his dad at First National Bank of Las Animas, and Sunday afternoon drives with him to visit all of the farmers of Bent County.

He knows well how many farmers and other families his dad helped, but few who live in the area remember the civic leader.

That's why Rawlings decided to give $150,000 to the Bent County Historical Society to relocate the Kit Carson Museum from outside town to a historic building on Main Street.

Tourists won't be able to miss the new museum, located right off U.S. 50 as they breeze through tiny Las Animas.
