and

The Magoffin Family / Santa Fe - Chihuahua Trail Monument (Susan Magoffin) - on display at the Keystone Heritage Park. The next statue in the series is Benito Juarez - From Child to Man, which depicts Juarez as a young boy with a book, eager to learn, and as an adult, looking back on his accomplishments. Funding for the projects comes from both the public and private/business sectors. Donations to the project are always welcome and can be sent to
