We were honored to receive the Preservation Edge Award for the Frontier Drive-Inn. Colorado Preservation Inc awards projects that offer significant contributions toward preserving Colorado’s built archeological history as well as saving landscapes.

Frontier Drive-Inn opened in 1955 and closed in 1985. We bought it in 2016, renovating the screen, neon sign, snack bar and ticket booth. We created a unique site plan based on crop circles, and added lodging that was in the San Luis Valley’s vernacular. Today, we show movies under the stars and can host 50 or more people. We encourage people to get out during the day and enjoy all the valley has to offer – Penitente Canyon, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Zapata Falls, and numerous hot springs.

Come experience the Frontier Drive-Inn and thank you to Colorado Preservation Inc. for the recognition!

The Nurses' Home at 9+CO is officially recognized on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Since we first began the development at what is now 9+CO, we consistently heard from the community that this building should be preserved for its contribution to the heritage of the State of Colorado. In January, we took the important step to get it registered so that it will stand for generations to come.
