Tourists from Spain head towards the historic fields. Evidence of ancient habitation show that humans lived in this area long before Spanish conquistadors came into New Mexico. Eventually, El Rancho de las Golondrinas became the last stopping place on El Camino Real, the Royal Road, to Mexico City. In the spring of 1972, the 200 acres were opened to the public as New Mexico's first living museum. A regular schedule of fiestas and other events was instituted. Men and women who remembered the old skills of cultivation, weaving, carpentry, blacksmithing and crafts were invited to the museum to show visitors how a rancho functioned. July 2000 |
