Santa Fe 400th Anniversary
(505) 986-1610

Historically, the theme of “All Trails Lead to Santa Fe” chronicles the historical evolution of how Santa Fe became the great southwestern city that it is. Metaphorically, “All Trails Lead to Santa Fe” is about connecting historical and cultural values from prehistoric to modern times with the many stories about the people whose lives shaped the epical history of Santa Fe.

• Native American habitation and uses of the area during the contact period
• Founding Euro‑American exploration and settlement in the area from Spanish exploration through 1820
• Mexican period activities in New Mexico, 1821‑1846
• Transition to American occupancy, especially ranching and homesteading relationships/influences 1846 to early twentieth century
• Early twentieth century ranching
• The importance and activities of individuals
• Impact of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the Santa Fe Trail, old Spanish
