  • Print a Copy of Historic Taos, a Walking Tour of 22 Taos Landmarks
    Welcome visitors and Taoseños! You are invited to explore the diversity of this region, through a self-guided tour. The two-hundred year old Taos Plaza, and the streets that radiate from it like spokes, form the National Historic District of Taos. It contains a number of national and state landmarks which are Historic testimonials to the rich and complex cultural history of T aos. The T aos Valley has been a major trade and travel route since human presence was first felt in the area. Archeological evidence suggests that people have been using and moving through the Taos Valley for, at least, the past 9,000 years. The ancestors of the Pueblo people, commonly known as the Anasazi, were the first permanent inhabitants of the Valley. Room blocks and pit houses in the Taos area testify to their presence since 900 AD. Around 1200 AD, they aggregat- ed into small above ground structures of 50-100 rooms. Many believe the Taos Pueblo was constructed around 1450 as a multi-story TAOS complex. However, archeologists predominantly place the date of construction of Taos Pueblo in the 14th century on or about 1350. Unfortunately , there is no known recorded date. In any case, the Pueblo Indians depended upon nature for their survival, and therefore treated nature as an organizing and spiritual element in their lives. At the time of the arrival of the Europeans, all of Taos Valley was in the domain of Taos Pueblo Indians. In 1540, Francisco de Coronado, a Spanish conquistador and explorer, was authorized to explor e the area by the king of Spain.

  • Rick Dillingham Collection
    Rick Dillingham Collection New Mexico Museum of Art Library and Archives Introduction Rick Dillingham [hereinafter RD], whose full name was James Richard. Dillingham II, was born in Illinois in 1952. His college education during the years 1968 - 1976 secured him a Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of New Mexico (1974) and a Master’s Degree from Claremont Graduate School, Scripps College, at Claremont, California (1976). His principal work as an artist was in the field of ceramics where he achieved international primacy . Representative pieces of his work are held in the Victoria Albert Museum in London, the National Museum of Ceramic Art in Baltimore, Maryland, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe. He was best known, for his "broken pottery" technique involving the deliberate destruction of pottery made by him, the decoration and coloring of the shards, and their reconstruction when his artistic applications were completed. Scope and Content Note Part One presents scrapbooks, correspondence, announcements, catalogs, correspondence and other "paper records" and memorabilia. Part Two presents an enormous collection of photographs, 35mm slides, transparencies, postcards, and related material.

But to Davison Koenig, the Couse-Sharp Historic Site executive director and curator, it’s perfectly understandable. “The arrival of those who would come to be known as the Taos Society of Artists was a perfect storm of circumstances, the timing of which coincided with a burgeoning interest in the American Southwest,” he said. “They didn’t just visit here; they settled here. And so they became a colony with a common and concerted vision, which was to share with the rest of the world an authentic depiction of Native culture and the American Southwest landscape.” Today, the site--owned and operated by The Couse Foundation and including the homes and studios of founding artists E. Irving Couse and J. H. Sharp--is a fascinating step back into time, but is poised to become the future’s singular research center dedicated to Taos as one of the most important art colonies in the country’s history.
