Living History
Every place we go, we are reminded of the history of this region. All of the books I’ve been reading for the last several months are springing to life as we make our way around the town. Neither Dublan nor Juarez are very large in terms of population. The main street in each town is only a few blocks long; the town only a few blocks wide. There are colonial homes in nearly every block; the sturdy red brick adorned with white “Gingerbread” exterior moldings, cornices, lattices and bargeboards. Some have been restored and converted into hotels or commercial shops. Some, like “Uncle John and Aunt Joyce’s” and Sister Johnson’s remain in the family. Jared and Jeniece made a visit to the town cemetery and captured evidence of dozens of pioneer families including the Lakes, the Hursts, and the Pierces. 
There are old tools, fragments of wagons, crumbling adobe buildings and suspension bridges that capture our imagination. The visual artists capture objects to convey the weight of history that we feel everywhere.
