A crowd gathers in front of Temple Aaron in Trinidad, Colorado on March 23, 2024. The synagogue was named a National Historic Landmark.


A small-town synagogue in Southern Colorado was once considered endangered. Now it's received the strongest historic protection there is. How a community of Jews and non-Jews in Trinidad and beyond, saved Temple Aaron. Then, after the death of his younger sister, Denver comedian Adam Cayton-Holland channeled his experience into what he calls a "tragi-comic" memoir, which inspired his one-man show, "Happy Place."
