Bring your family to Durango and experience a taste of the old west. Built in 1898, Puetz Saloon (now Schuler's Saloon) was frequented by the local townspeople. Here's a little history . . .
The regulars often acquired calluses on their elbows by prolonged and heavy leaning on the bar. The men of Durango usually did not drink alone nor did they drink at home. Needing each others company, there were a lot of regulars. The patrons were a varied lot from miners to outlaws, gamblers and honest workmen. What they were not -- were minorities. Drinking establishments of the west did not welcome other races. Indians were excluded by law. An occasional black man might be grudgingly accepted, or at least ignored, if he happened to be a noted gambler or outlaw. If a Chinese man entered a saloon, he risked his life.
Due to the culture at the time, also excluded were respectable women. Unless they were a saloon girl or a "shady lady," women did not enter, a tradition that lasted until World War I. In retaliation, the ladies were primarily behind the prohibition movement.
Today, all are welcome. Located just 10 minutes from historic downtown Durango, relax on 4 acres while soaking up your own piece of history and enjoying the beautiful La Plata Mountains. The saloon has been lovingly remodeled and restored. It is bursting with antiques and all the comforts of home. Enjoy two bedrooms, 1 full bath, and additional sleeping for 2 more. On the property, there is 350 feet of private river frontage in the La Plata River; fish to your hearts content for Browns, Brookies, and Rainbows. Large wrap around deck completes the ambiance. Call with any questions you may have about this unique property. Admit it, wouldn't you rather be here?
