Clifton House Site

This profile is part of the Raton, New Mexico One Place Study.

The location of the lodge was along the west bank of the cottonwood-shaded Canadian River, adjacent to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad tracks. The materials were brought overland from Dodge City. For years it served as headquarters for cattle roundups. It was also a roundup point for post-Civil War cattle drives. After the abandonment of the Santa Fe Trail in 1879, it fell into disuse and burned.

The Clifton House is also connected to the outlaws "Ike" and "Port" Stockton. They just happened to live near the Clifton House but had no connection to the building, or running, the hotel.
