The ​Barlow & Sanderson Stagecoach was listed in the Colorado State Register on June 14, 1995.  ​T​he Monte Vista Commercial Club, predecessor of the Monte Vista Chamber of Commerce, donated the stagecoach to the Colorado Historical Society (now History Colorado) for display at the Fort Garland Museum in 1959.  However, the donation was accepted with three restrictions that do not meet current curatorial standards.  While the stagecoach is an important artifact of Colorado’s history, the restrictions imposed on the donation are beyond the scope of History Colorado’s collection policy and the stagecoach was formally de-accessioned by the History Colorado Board of Directors on July 24, 2014. ​ ​In July 2014, the coach was removed to the City of Monte Vista, which had requested to use it, as per conditions imposed in the donation agreement.  Pending restoration activity, it will be placed inside the Transportation Museum of the West located at 916 1st Avenue in downtown Monte Vista where it will become a key part of their static displays, which are open to the public.
