Overview
The Martinez Hacienda (Hacienda de los Martinez) is a fortified adobe from the Spanish colonial era, built in 1804 by Don Antonio Severino Martinez, a merchant and the mayor of Taos, as a trading post on the Camino Real to Chihuahua. Now a living museum of the Taos Historic Museums, with 21 rooms around two courtyards, it has weaving and blacksmith demonstrations. It is one of the few Spanish colonial haciendas open to the public year-round.
