SANTO DOMINGO PUEBLO, N.M. (AP) - Santo Domingo Pueblo is breaking ground on a project to restore a trading post that has served as a Southwestern icon for a century.
The Santo Domingo Historic Trading post was added to state and national cultural property lists in the late 1990s. A fire destroyed the interior walls and roof in 2001.
Pueblo Gov. Sisto Quintana says his community has been looking forward to Tuesday's groundbreaking ceremony for years.
He described the old trading post as a vibrant place of commerce and culture. Its history is intertwined with the heyday of the railroads, mining and Route 66.
The tribe will be using $1 million from the U.S. Economic Development Administration as the foundation for rebuilding the trading post.
The tribe also plans a fundraising campaign to help pay for construction, equipment and operation costs.
