Welcome to another episode of Preserving History and Democracy!

In this episode, we’re joined by a very special guest—Triano Jasso, secretary of the Doña Ana Village Historic Preservation Committee. Triano shares how his lifelong passion for history led him to get involved in preserving the rich heritage of Doña Ana.

We begin with an introduction to Triano and his role on the committee, followed by an inside look at the committee’s work and their efforts to keep local history alive. Triano then shares his take on how the village of Doña Ana got its name.

He also walks us through the committee’s mission statement and highlights the many community partners they’ve worked with. From there, we dive into the preservation of the village church—an important historical project—and explore the story behind the De La O Center, including Triano’s personal family connection to the site.

To wrap things up, Triano offers valuable resources and ways you can support the committee’s future projects.

Don’t miss this insightful conversation about the power of community, memory, and honoring the past to shape our future!
