general store, among other things, said J.J. Lamb, co-director of the Vail Preservation Society.
Some of the structures still stand. The society is working to preserve the old post office and have it placed on the National Register of Historic Places. St. Rita is still an active parish.
Along with the feed store, now the area is home to other businesses such as The Walker Agency of Farmers Insurance and Valeria's Comida Mexicana, as well as the preservation society's community-building events.

4. The Gaslight Theatre
7010 E. Broadway, www.thegaslighttheatre.com, 886-9428.
Having finished its parody "Harlie's Angels" or "Clues But No Cigar," the Gaslight has moved on to spoofing superheros with its "The Freedom League of America."
The theater is an East Side fixture, encouraging audience participation and a good laugh in an Old West atmosphere.
The uniqueness of the environment is what makes the Gaslight stand out, said Becky Gilmour, the theater's director of public relations. She has been coming to the Gaslight since she was 6. "It's just a tradition for so many families," she said.
Along with its regular shows, the Gaslight hosts family concerts and youth theater.
Showtimes (of "Freedom League"): 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30 and 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 and 7 p.m. Sundays. through Aug. 22.
Tickets (plus tax):$17.95 for adults, $15.95 for students, seniors age 60 and older and military and $7.95 for children ages 12 and younger.
5. Colossal Cave Mountain Park
16721 E. Old Spanish Trail, www.colossalcave.com, 647-7275.
Best known for the cave that extends 600 feet or so into the mountain, Colossal Cave Mountain Park includes a working cattle ranch with hay rides, hiking trails and La Posta Quemada Ranch and the Civilian Conservation Corps museums.
"It's one of the few places outside of Tucson where you can drive a short distance — like half an hour, 45 minutes — and you can get into totally primitive, non-developed areas, naturalist areas," said Lauren Hohl, assistant manager and an education assistant.
The park has special events the fourth Saturday and first Sunday of each month. Go online to its Web site or call 647-7121 for more information.
Regular tours of the cave run several times daily. People can register in advance to take more vigorous tours through infrequently traveled areas.
Summer hours (to Sept. 15):8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Admission:The daily park use fee is $5 per auto, or $1 per person for autos with more than six passengers. Go online to view other vehicle rates. Cave tours are $11 for ages 13 and older, $6 for children ages 5 to 12 and free for ages 4 and younger.
