What it’s like
The place. Weston is a very small community in Las Animas County, in the southern part of Colorado. Its quiet setting means neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in government. These kinds of work give the town a steady base of local employment.
Things to do. The Purgatoire River is a short drive away and is a good place for a quiet walk by the water. Trinidad Lake State Park, a protected area a longer drive off, offers a wider stretch of open country. The Jaffa Opera House, a theatre a longer drive away, hosts live performances.
