Cultivating Life: Agriculture in the South Valley

Visit South Valley and step back in time in this 5,700 square foot adobe building from the 1860s and highlights the mixing of Spanish, Anglo, and Native American traditions & cultures during the Territorial Period (1848-1912). The house sits on a ten-acre parcel of land encompassing a traditional garden and a heritage garden as well as walking trails along the acequia madre (mother ditch) and around the property, and cultivated farm plots. Enjoy the new exhibit Cultivating Life: Agriculture in the South Valley, square dance demonstrations and lessons, hands-on crafts and face painting.  This is a family friendly event!
