RGS Mancos Depot
| November 26, 2015 05:56PM |
Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving!!! As I was driving home from dinner with the grandparents in Cortez we passed through Mancos, Colorado. I just thought that I would finally ask a question that has been burning in my mind for a long time but have never received a straight answer. I have always thought, and been told by my grandpa who used to live in Mancos, my family goes back four generations in the town, is part of the original Mancos depot. However recently I have heard that it is not of railroad construction at all and that the depot was moved to elsewhere in town. I have yet to find it, but that is entirely possible as well. I am just really curious.
It would be great to find out, from the photos I've seen the Mancos depot was one of the most beautiful along the RGS.
Thank you!
