Made possible thanks to funding from the New Mexico Humanities Council and National Endowment for the Humanities.

This year the Historic Santa Fe Foundation (HSFF) will present two free family days at our historic compound El Zaguán, 545 Canyon Road, made possible thanks to funding from the New Mexico Humanities Council and National Endowment for the Humanities. On June 21 and September 7, HSFF invites the public to tour our grounds and interpretive space, participate in hands-on and kid-friendly adobe demonstrations led by HSFF Preservation Projects & Programs Manager Jacob Sisneros, and explore El Zaguán’s garden with Santa Fe Extension Master Gardener Ruthbeth Finerman to learn about the delicate balance of maintaining a historic garden in a water-thoughtful environment. Participants will receive an activity book about El Zaguán’s history that includes sections and conversation starters designed to help children and their families discuss their home neighborhood, vegetation, and cultural practices and how these shape identity and sense of place.

For more information or to sponsor or volunteer for the family days please contact HSFF Education Programs & Publications Manager Hanna Churchwell via email at hanna@historicsantafe.org.

Event sponsorship starts at $1,000.
