This free-standing self-guided walking tour illustrates a microcosm of northern New Mexico history in 8 interpretive signs. Maps available at the Welcome kiosk and in the Visitor Center. The trail loops from our village’s main intersection (and sole traffic light) to our historic church plaza. Start at the Welcome kiosk on the corner of Hwys 38 and 522 and follow the directional arrows to enjoy the informational signage and beautiful views.
In different years, we have celebrated our trail on National Trails Day. Plans for 2025 are pending.
Please use caution as the ground is rough in places. Please be respectful of residents and worshipers you may encounter. Explore all the research for a deeper understanding of many topics the trail’s signs introduce along with local memories.
