National and State Register
Colorado Millennial Site / Hackberry Site / Bloody Springs
Las Animas County
This site with its multiple prehistoric and historic components is one of a few known sites in Colorado that has been identified with such an extended period of occupation—possibly 7,000 years.
The rock art is notable for its quantity, range of styles, and well-preserved context. It is also the 1868 location of a 7th Cavalry fight with Cheyennes, the last historically documented skirmish involving Plains Indians and the military in southeastern Colorado.
