  • 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.

  • A History of the Manby House the Taos Center for the Arts (TCA) Owns
    A History of the Manby House The Taos Center for the Arts (TCA) owns what was originally the buildings and adjacent property that were a part of the historic Manby Hacienda. These structures are more than 100 years old. This property was placed on the New Mexico State Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Stables Gallery, which is available for short-term rentals by artists, is located in the original horse stables and carriage house of the hacienda. The front rooms of the main house facing Paseo del Pueblo Norte and the connecting rooms facing an inner patio are leased to the restaurant Donabe, and Andean Software rents the southwest front rooms adjacent to the entrance to the Taos Inn. The Manby Hacienda has a rich history. In 1898, Arthur Rochford Manby purchased 23 acres of land north of the historic Taos Inn and began construction of his hacienda, completing construction by 1907. This Spanish-style hacienda consisted of 19 rooms with eight kiva style fireplaces, and was set in a square with three wings surrounding a patio, two wells, stables, a carriage house, and tall outer adobe walls (see Figure 1). Timber and vigas were cut and hauled from nearby mountains; adobe bricks were made in the back pasture (currently Kit Carson Park). Behind the front ~ 12-foot-tall adobe wall and single gate was a courtyard with flagstones set in thick grass leading to the front door. Manby had 200 lilac bushes planted facing Taos Mountain that encompassed the entire north side of the main house (see Figure 1).
