Their town has been burned, flooded and nearly cut in half. But residents want you to know "Pagosa is here.

Pagosa Springs, Colorado, is still cleaning up after back-to-back “historic” floods that struck in late October, following decades of vulnerability that included dozens of fires, flooding the year before, and a record-dry winter. Volunteers at the Pagosa Springs History Museum worked to remove fragile items while the building’s front floor cracked and sagged over the San Juan River. The 1-inch crack widened as floodwaters damaged parts of the museum, leaving residents concerned about safety and forced them into recovery with limited cellphone service and highway disruptions. The town is also raising money to rebuild and aims to preserve its collection, including a “history vault” promised to remain unopened until Colorado’s bicentennial in 2076.
