Give the kids a taste of colonial New Mexico and learn about life in the 1700s. A few miles south of the city, in La Cienega, is El Rancho de las Golondrinas, a complex of 18th- and 19th-century houses, blacksmith shops, and watermills, a chapel, and a winery. Once a stop on the Camino Real, the ranch comes alive during summer "theme weekends," with music, storytelling, and dance. This ranch from the history pages of New Mexico is now a living museum. Hands on activities and scheduled events are scheduled throughout the year. Call for information.
