They have things like cooking classes. It’s a living history place where volunteers dress in period costumes and tell you about New Mexican history and do things. Tours start from the gift shop. There was a blacksmith that was making things that they needed for repairs, a working mill, and a vineyard. I shot some arrows. The volunteers are super friendly.

This is such a Gem in New Mexico. You really get a feel for the history of our state. It is a beautiful place to come and enjoy. I love their themed weekends and really got a lot out of the Viva Mexico celebration. They really brought Mexico to us in a tangible way. We got to experience a healing ceremony and see the amazing Voladores de Papantla from Veracruz, oh and did I mention the food. That food was slap your uncle amazing. I will need to track down the vendors that were their so I can experience that awesomeness again! If you want a cultural experience please go!

I didn’t make it to the museum. But this place hosts the annual Santa Fe Wine Festival, and the grounds is a great place to do it. It’s a beautiful venue with grass, lots of trees(important for shade in the summer), and flowers. The wine festival was well organized and it wasn’t too hard to get to the place with the signs that were provided. I would love to go back yearly… and next time I’ll try to check out the museum.

El Rancho de Las Golondrinas is to rural Santa Fe what the Petaluma Adobe is to the North Bay. One gets a sense of vastness in the countryside. They do living history. They’ll host art festivals where one can get local handicrafts. I have beautiful saint painting on tin of Saints Teresa of Avila and Catherine of Alexandria from the festival they hosted. The people there are friendly, and it’s a spectacular place to enjoy the New Mexican high country.

I loved everything about this place — from the people dressed up in period costumes telling you about the history of the ranch to the delicious Frito pie(I didn’t know that existed outside the world of Peggy Hill), El Rancho De Las Golondrinas has something for everyone. I visited during the October Harvest, so there were people doing craft demonstrations, teaching you how to make Indian fry bread, and selling delectable autumny treats. Can’t complain about any of that!

Highly recommend for adults and kids. Great interactive environment with a real sense of history. Staff was really outstanding and provided great insight into how the early settlers lived on the ranch and how it changed over the years. Expect to do a lot of walking in order to see everything as the property is large and somewhat hilly. Water stations are conveniently located throughout the ranch so no need to haul your own. I spent around 3 hours with my family on the self-guided tour. Go first thing in the morning to beat the crowds.

I recommend going when an event is going on. We went to a celebration of children. There were people in costume from the historical period. They weaved, blacksmithed, made home made bread, etc. We made our own tortillas and ate them. There are several acres to see. We saw old houses and an old school house. My children got to wash clothes the old fashioned way(with a wash board and hang to dry). There was also a wolf rescue group where children could see wolves and a stage with various acts.
