Dearfield Preservation Project
1. Applicant Information
Mission statement, brief statement of organization's goals, organization history and achievements:
The Black American West Museum&Heritage Center's (BAWM&HC)mission and goals are the
interpreting,collecting,housing,displaying, exhibiting,and preserving of historical artifacts,
documents and other memorabilia which tell the history and relate the stories of Black men and
women who helped settle and develop the American West.
The BAWM&HC was founded in 1971 by Paul W. Stewart to research,preserve and disseminate
information on the role of Black pioneers in the development of the American West. The Museum
currently has close to 700 members and collections of over several hundred photographs, artifacts,
documents,musical scores and memorabilia that tell the rich history of African American
westerners. In 1985,the Museum acquired the Dr Justin L. Ford home from Historic Denver and
became the permanent home of the BAWM&HC celebrating her accomplishments as Colorado's
first licensed Black female physician. The restoration of the Museum was the first preservation
project in Colorado of a site associated with African American history, The property was placed on
the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The Museum also owns a property next to the Ford
home that serves as a gallery, office and community meeting space.
In 1993, records showed that only two other Black sites were listed in Colorado on the National
Register of Historic Places. Since this time,the Museum has become committed to the identification
and preservation of land and historic sites associated with.African American history.
Recent achievements include the selection of the Deerfield town site on the Colorado's Most
Endangered Places list,the development of a vision plan for the creation of a historic park
celebrating the community and its achievements and an appropriation of$250,000 from the
Colorado Legislature to stabilize structures.The Museum plays an active role in the community and
has several programs for both K-12 students and adults.
2. Purpose of Grant
The purpose of this rant is for the purchase of two structures—the lunchroom and the filling
station and clean up of the sites.
a.Description of the importance of the property or project;
Deerfield is a rare example of the African-American farming colony movement that became
prevalent in the plains between 1900-1940. Deerfield was a dryland agricultural community that
was developed by Oliver Toussaint Jackson,an African-American visionary and entrepreneur who
worked for four early Colorado governors.Through his political connections he was able to realize
his dream of creating a place where Black people could become self-sufficient. Deerfield was
established in 1910 and is one of the earliest farming communities on the plains in Weld County.
The town boasted a school,two churches, a doctor's office,a filling station, a lunchroom and
numerous residences.

Black American West Museum&Heritage Center
Deerfield Preservation Project
Deerfield today is the last of several Black communities that were established on the Colorado
eastern plains with existing structures.The BAWIVI&HC acquired the home of O.T.Jackson as a
result of a property trade with another resident,and over the last several years has had numerous
properties donated to them..As a result,the Museum chose to develop the site as a history park for
future generations of Coloradoans to learn about the role Afirican-Americans played in shaping the
state. The site is a glimpse into subsistence farming in an arid climate,and is important to the
understanding of the role agriculture plays in northern Colorado. Dearfield is symbolic of the
pioneer spirit of African Americans many of whom left their jobs in the cities to experience the
personal freedom of land ownership and self-determination, which was a national movement of the
time. (National Register Nomination, Statement of Significance)
In June 2000,the Colorado legislature appropriated funds for the BAWM&HC to begin the
preservation of Deerfield. The use of the appropriation is restricted to the preservation of structures
at the Dearfield site.As a result,the Museum must seek funds from sources such as the State
Historical Fund to provide for the landscaping,interpretation and educational opportunities plan to
maintain the site and acquire additional parcels. The BAWM&HC is requesting funds to purchase
two sites—the lunchroom and the filling station and for the clean up of those sites in an effort to
protect the investment taxpayers in Colorado have invested in the site.
The BAWM&HC realizes that in order to make their vision of a history park a reality,they will
need to acquire additional property. The consultants hired have recently completed a land
acquisition plan,a security and maintenance plan (already implemented)and more recently,an
archaeology assessment.
b. Description of the goals and objectives for the purpose of the grant:
The goal of this grant will be to acquire the lunchroom and the filling station,clear the area and
define the location with natural vegetation,develop an interpretive trail, stabilize the corridor with
coal cinders and visually identify the locations with appropriate signage;perform site clean-up to
raise awareness of the unique historical significance of Deerfield and help give each visitor the
sense that Deerfield was a real place in addition to providing educational opportunities for present
and future Coloradoans.
This project meets the State Historical.Fund objectives for the preservation of sites of
underrepresented ethnic minorities.
c. Public benefit of the work proposed:
Few Coloradoans have an opportunity to learn about the dryland era of farming in the State of
Colorado,or the role African-Americans played in developing the State. The preservation of
Deerfield will assist in telling the hill story of the history of the great plains of Colorado. The public
will be able to visit the site and get a sense of what it may have been like to live in the vast prairie,
The long-term goal of developing the site into a museum will greatly benefit our residents,ensuring
that an important African-American site is preserved for future generations.

SQUIRE BROCKMAN CABIN
This cabin is located in the middle of a thorned patch.in Block 11 surrounded by Black Locust
which is not native to Colorado. Although the Squire Brockman Cabin remains standing in a much
deteriorated condition, according to the Colorado Historical Society,to restore it would require
some reconstruction which would compromise the historic integrity of the structure. The Black
American West Museum &Heritage Center is proposing to remove it,place a wood and metal
canopy over the ruins leaving whatever is of a permanent nature to help tell the story,if there is
anything; placing some interpretive signage on the site and landscaping it with natural vegetation.

4-10, MEMORANDUM
I TO: Lee Morrison DATE: 9/10/2003
C FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator
SUBJECT: Status of Dearfield Townsite
COLORADO
On September 5, 2003, a site visit was performed to verify improvements associated with either the
Improvements Agreement (private road maintenance) or the Nonexclusive License Agreement, both are in the
file but neither have been executed or recorded by the Board.
The following locations have the typical County gravel cross section, which consists of 26 feet of gravel surface
with borrow pit drainage ditches cut on both sides and cul-de-sacs. The following locations have this typical
cross section:
• Houston Avenue between US Highway 34 and Jackson Street.
• Jackson Street between Houston Avenue and Washington Avenue.
• Washington Avenue between Jackson Street and Young Street.
• Young Street between Franklin Avenue and Anderson Avenue, with cul-de-sacs on both ends.
The borrow pit ditches on the following roads appear to be handling the storm water drainage from the roads
sections. I did not see any storm water drainage flooding across any of the road sections. The following
streets and avenues have been roughed in with the typical cross section, but no gravel has been placed:
• Bruce Avenue between Montgomery Street and Tompkins Street
• Matlock Avenue between Montgomery and Tompkins Street
• Foster Street between Houston Avenue and Washington Avenue
Washington Avenue between US Highway 34 and Jackson Street still remains a two track section of road with
no improvements.
SUMMARY: In speaking with Drew Scheltinga, who has dealt with the developer of the Dearfield Townsite, he
indicated that no agreements were executed or in place. A set of construction drawings identifying the
verification of right-of-way, road placement, drainage were not submitted, reviewed or approved. No
notification or inspection was done during construction.
I recommend that the developer place some street name signs throughout the town site to identify the streets
and avenues for addressing and emergency response locations.
In responding to your email dated 8/29/2003, the status of the Dearfield Townsite have not been accepted for
private or public maintenance. All items above should have been addressed prior to constructing roadways.
The Weld County Public Works Department recommends that the roads within the Dearfield Townsite have not
met the requirements for acceptance of the County road maintenance system.
