For the first time, the Fort Garland Museum and Cultural Center hosted a tortilla making workshop for adults on November 18. In museum fashion, it came with a history lesson about tortillas in the San Luis Valley.

“It brings us together as a community,” said Antonia Velasquez, the education coordinator at the museum and leader of the workshop.

More than two dozen community members attended the workshop. The attendees ranged from first-timers to experienced homemade tortillas makers.
