Dating from 1804, the Hacienda is one of the last remaining Spanish Colonial “Great Houses” surviving. It was both a family home and a trading center for the early Taos community. Severino Martinez also served in the local government as the Alcalde (or mayor).
Portions of the Blumenschein Home and Museum were built in 1797. Ernest Blumenschein, co-founder of the Taos Society of Artists, brought his family to the Taos in 1919. The artist and his family lived there for more than 40 years. Mon-Sat: 10-5, Sunday: 12-5.
