Welcome to La Veta

La Veta is a small, quaint village in southern Colorado with wonderful shops, and art galleries known for international, national, and local artists, and luxury boutiques. Three gas stations, one general store, and Charlie's Market known for a wonderful ice cream shop are a few of the many Main Street stores. The Fort Francisco Museum and Library are located at the heart of the village named for Colonel Francisco who founded a trading post here in 1862. This is the last surviving original adobe fort in the state. The small town of La Veta grew up around this fort. Musicians are well known for their performances in La Veta throughout the year including a second-to-none Celtic Festival with bagpipers, harps, and fiddles bringing a flair of amazing cultural performances.
