Pea Green's community house

Pea Green Corner is an unincorporated community in Montrose County, Colorado, United States. An agricultural community, its center lies at the intersection of Colorado State Highway 348 and Banner Road.[2] It's about 15 miles southwest of Delta, Colorado.[3]

Pea Green Corner's name stems from the color of its community hall and general store.[2] In addition to the store and community house, the former school still stands near the community's main intersection, but the last classes were held there in the 1960s. The Pea Green Store is closed, but it's the site of an annual antique sales event called Pickin' at the Pea.[3]
