Overview
The Kit Carson Home and Museum is a modest adobe just east of the Taos Plaza, built in 1825 and the home from 1843 to 1868 of frontiersman Kit Carson and his family. Carson became famous as a trapper, guide, and Army scout, and the museum's rooms show his family life and the history of the Southwest, with a gun collection and Native artifacts. The Bent Masonic Lodge owns it, and the Kit Carson Memorial Foundation runs it.
