Saguache County Museum in Saguache, Colorado, occupies an 1870 adobe building that once served as a school, courthouse, jail, and jailers’ residence before local residents saved it from demolition in 1958. It also manages the Hazard House Museum, a 1913 house donated in 1994. The collections preserve both Native and settler histories of the San Luis Valley, with displays ranging from Ute artifacts and settler materials to early 20th-century medical equipment, rugs, baskets, pottery, a 38-star American flag, and a 1908 fire wagon and hose. The building itself is central to the town’s civic history and historic downtown character.
