Our new “RMJHS on the Road” initiative spotlights the Colorado Jewish experience in cities and towns beyond Denver.  Last year’s trip to Leadville and Temple Israel was phenomenal, and we are excited to explore all that Trinidad has to offer in September.

We will delve into the Jewish history of the town and learn about the restoration of Temple Aaron, which became a National Historic Landmark in 2024. 

This trip will include an overnight stay in Trinidad and a visit to the Trinidad History Museum and other nearby sites.

Travel with RMJHS by bus from Denver or plan your own transportation and meet us there.
A charter bus will be leaving from the HEA parking lot at 11:00 AM on Sunday, September 14 and returning at c. 6:30 PM on Monday, September 15.
