Very nice sight for additional Taos history. Met a very nice staff member and ladies exhibiting art. Gave quite a history lesson. The web page information should be updated as hours of operation did not reflect actual days location is open. Better call before visiting. Worth the call.

This is probably the only remaining dual interior courtyard hacienda still standing in North America. This was the site of the early trading fandangos where trappers, Pueblo and Plains tribes came in the fall to trade in Northern New Spain. There is a reenactment each September. The rooms are filled with era appropriate technologies that demonstrate life in the Taos region in the very early 1800s. You will be steeped in history, dont miss it!

Fascinating historical home reflecting the life of early settlers in Taos. A true gem since 1804. Dont miss this look back in time. Self- guided tour takes about 1 hour. Small gift shop.

Interesting place to see how Spanish colonists lived in this area of New Mexico. The tour is self guided and you can go in and out of the different rooms throughout the Hacienda. It would be interesting to know a little more about the families story of how they ended up there and their influence on the surrounding areas development but there are many interesting artifacts and collections throughout the Hacienda. This museum has a lot of continued potential as they gather more information and details that can be added to make the experience even better.

Surprisingly larger than it looks and full of period and more modern artefacts. The resident curator was great fun and full of stories about the Hacienda, local sights and personalities.

I am going to give this place a 1 only because the employee locked up at about 4:30ish and closing is supposed to be at 5 pm. This was our first time in the town and we actually have family here because Padre Martinez is my husbands great great great great grandfather. We visited with family and left enough time to visit the museum library in order to purchase a book on Padre Martinez. We tried to get into the building and it was locked up tight. The family began walking around the building and my daughter and I stayed in front and she kept knocking on the door. It is Sunday early evening at about 4:40 pm now and a woman answers the door and asks what we want? I said, we want to come in, what are your hours? She said we are closed and we close at 5:00. I told her it is about 4:40 and she said, Well....I want to go home! We are open tomorrow again. I told her that we were visiting from San Diego and we were leaving tonight that we just briefly wanted to go in. I also told her that Padre Martinez was great ect..ect...ect..grandfather to my daughter and husband and her response was, Oh well! We are closed and everything is off and closed up so if you want to see anything you have to come back tomorrow. Needless to say, we didnt get in. We did walk around the property and it is beautiful. Very peaceful. I am certain I would have given it a 5 otherwise. I suggest if you go be there earlier than 4:30 because the woman employee there tonight, Sunday the 24th of September was lazy and rude with no consideration for distance traveled to get there. I would have been happy to be out by closing.
