The Wootton Ranch is near I-25 at the
north entrance to Raton Pass, on the Colorado-New Mexico state line. This
ranch is famous as the home of Richens Lacy "Uncle Dick" Wootton,
who owned and operated the Raton Pass toll road. The ranch house was a copy of the Hough-Baca House
in Trinidad, Colorado. The house was destroyed in 1905 and then rebuilt by James Ownby
from available plans.
