El Zaguan, 545 Canyon Road, is the present day headquarters of Historic Santa Fe Foundation. It is a piece of a larger compound with a multi-room house, orchard, stables, farmland, and outbuildings created by James L. Johnson and his wife Maria Jesus Montoya. Johnson began purchasing parcels on Canyon Road in 1854 and built this sizable Territorial-style house. Elizabeth A. Comer will present ‘The Roots of James Lewis Johnson in Catoctin Furnace, Maryland’  to share Johnson’s life before Santa Fe, his family, their legacy in Maryland, and the Catoctin Furnace Historical Societies work. “The Catoctin Furnace Historical Society, Inc. focuses on commemorating, studying, and preserving the architecture, cultural landscapes, lifeways and foodways of the enslaved Africans, free African Americans, and European immigrant laborers and families.”
