Everywhere one walks in downtown Santa Fe, the Dead are there, under our feet.  Thousands still occupy their graves, resting perhaps uneasily, under the buildings, streets, sidewalks and parking lots of modern Santa Fe.  For thousands of years the people who lived and died at this sacred place along the Santa Fe River were being buried here, close by their families and community.  Who would have believed when they were laid to rest, that their graves could be so easily lost in a city that claims to revere her history and her Dead? 

Beginning on the plaza in the heart of Santa Fe and ending in the Barrio de Analco, take a tour of some of Santa Fe’s oldest “lost” Historic burial grounds.  Visit several of the places purported to contain Santa Fe’s most famous lost grave, that of Don Diego de Vargas.  Learn about efforts to document and protect all of Santa Fe’s “lost” Dead.
