Taos has an incredibly rich history or cultural diversity and traditions. It has been a staging place for dramas that have influenced the making of the American West. The five historic properties administered by Kit Carson Historic Museums offer rare glimpses into three important periods of Taos history and development - Spanish Colonial, American Territorial and Taos Art Colony.

The Kit Carson Historic Museums play a vital role in sharing the cultural heritage and stories of Taos with future generations. With your membership we can continue to operate Kit Carson Home and Museum, E. L. Blumenschein Home and Museum, and la Hacienda de los Martinez -- three historic sites that provide educational programs, preserve invaluable archives and present cultural exhibitions.
