One of a series of caches recognizing figures from Pueblo's early days.
Clara Weston was one of the early teachers in Pueblo. During the summer of 1864, while she was teaching at the school at Fourth and Santa Fe and living east of Fountain Creek, she would take off her shoes and wade across the stream twice each day. The school was closed part of that summer due to fear of an Indian attack.
