The Red Cliff Town Hall was constructed circa 1887 after the need for a volunteer fire department and town hall space was recognized. 

The farm was acquired by Rees C. Harris by land grant homestead in 1886. The Harris family has grown wheat and sorghum on the land, passing the homestead down through the generations.

May Belle Dixon homesteaded 320 acres in Baca County in 1915, as a widow with eight children. She raised cattle and feed, and had an orchard with fruit. Her great grandchildren still raise beef cattle at Dixon Ranch today.

John Buol acquired the farm north of Burlington in 1920. He raised wheat, corn, and milo, along with all classes of cattle. The land is still farmed by his great grandchildren today.

Kate C. Fletcher came from Kansas by covered wagon in the 1880s. She took a pre-emption right on 160 acres of land where the Town of Haxtun now stands. When surveying for the railroad was started through the area, Fletcher sold the pre-emptions of her first property to the Lincoln Townsite Company which was laying out the Town of $1000 in gold. She then moved north of Haxton to another homestead. In 1894, she married Albert Edwards who lived nearby on another homestead. Kate Fletcher Edwards died in 1942 and Albert Edwards died in 1956.

Enos T. Hotchkiss settled here in the 1880s. There are about 140 acres and the family uses the land for pasture and hay. The farm is a family operation with 100+ head of cattle. The family lives in the house Enos built in 1890.

George Sherart came out west during the Civil War and homesteaded this property. William E. Sherart served in the Civil War and then came out west. The first thing they did was to dig a deep well and they hit an excellent artesian well. In 1865, William and some of his neighbors dug the Fulton Ditch. They did this with horses and fresno scrapers. In 1870, they watched the Denver Pacific build a railroad through the farm. It came from Cheyenne down to Denver. Now it is the Union Pacific. In 1898, William registered his cattle brand, which is still used by S.H.

The original farm was homesteaded by John H. and Nell Fitz-Randolph Glassey in 1885. The crops were diversified - 40 acres of developed meadowland, barley, sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, and potatoes. In 1968, 137 American Elm trees fell victim to Dutch Elm Disease. Although the name of the farm remains the same, the remaining trees are Ash and Black Locust along with some Maple. The Black Locust trees were planted in 1897. John H. Glassey was very proud of his trees which is why the farm bears the name “The Elms” today.

In the 1880s, the Krehmeyer and Golden families began homesteading in Colorado, with the current operation near Haxtun purchased in 1950. Today, Pfaltzgraff Farms includes Roy and Kathryn Pfaltzgraff, their son Roy, and his wife Barbara. They farm with regenerative practices based on a continuous crop rotation of approximately fifteen different crops and creating products for area farmer’s markets.

Starting when they were married in 1913, Alvin and Gertrude Hawkins Morris worked in Colorado agriculture, eventually renting and then owning an apple orchard.  Five generations of the family have continued to work in agriculture, and all members of the Morris family have been fruitgrowers.
