The spot is also where the annual Fourth of July dance ceremony is held.
Santa Fe's Canyon Road impressively encapsulates some of the best aspects and attractions of the city all in one place. By no means does that mean that Canyon Road represents every fascinating aspect of life in this beautiful city, but it does give you the chance to explore some excellent galleries, shops, restaurants, and museums that are located along this highly popular street. Make sure you're wearing your favorite pair of walking shoes and bring some money because you're sure to find some unique items you will want to purchase along the way.
There are museums, and then there are "living museums" that the kids (and mom and dad) will surely find interesting. El Rancho de las Golondrinas is such a place. See attractions like original colonial buildings on this site that date back to the early 18th century as well as other buildings that have been reconstructed to reflect the style of that time period. The buildings and other items presented here tell the fascinating story of the early settlement of New Mexico. The museum is closed from November through March.
