Trinidad w/Millie Duren
from Luminaria: New Mexico Genealogy and History · host Luminaria Podcast
Trinidad needed its own episode! Millie Duren from the Trinidad History Museum walks us through so much rich history, from the original tribes in the area to Felipe Baca to the POW camp during WWII. Names mentioned: Casimiro Barela, Felipe Baca, Rafael Chacon, Sister Blandina Places mentioned: Trinidad, Segundo, Valdez, Trinchera Make sure to visit the Trinidad History Museum; tours of the Baca House are at 11 and 1, so plan your visit around then. Do not miss the gift shop! They have books and other items you can't find anywhere else. Incredibly, the Aultman photo collection is available to search online! I do recommend looking at each record after your initial search, because there are some creative spellings on names Excellent article on the POW camp outside of Trinidad. I can't stop thinking about Colie's Bakery.
