PUEBLO â In our exclusive new series Adventures with Alan, we ll travel across Southern Colorado week-by-week to show you thrills and chills, hidden gems and well-known spots.
This week, our adventures take us to Pueblo as we pop in for a visit at the Steelworks Center of the West.
The museum is located in the old medical dispensary building for the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, or CF&I, and serves as the historical archive of the now defunct steel company.
Museum Curator Victoria Miller tells us that CF&I traces it roots back to the 1870s, and that the steel mill was built here to produce railroad tracks.
