Jefferson

The ranching town of Jefferson was established when the DSP&P Railroad arrived in 1879. A railroad depot was built soon afterwards, and by 1881 the town had two butcher shops, a saloon, lumber mill, hotel, blacksmith, post office, express office and a population of 300. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Jefferson Depot is a well-preserved, wood frame depot on U.S. Hwy 285 that
now serves as a real estate and visitor information office (719-836-4833). Jefferson is the northern most point on the Tarryall Valley Scenic and Historic Auto Tour. The Jefferson School has been a center of activity since it's construction in 1901, and continues to serve as a community center and church on Main Street in the town of Jefferson.
