Trinidad History Museum

Baca House was purchased in 1873 by Felipe and Dolores Baca. They traded 22,000 pounds of wool for this two-storey adobe. Baca House features Greek architectural details, Victorian furniture, other period furnishings and Rio Grande textiles that suggest the lifestyle of this prominent family.

Frank Bloom was a cattle baron and banker, who along with his wife Sarah, built Bloom Mansion. The Victorian mansion was complete in 1882 in the French style. The interior is filled with ornate furnishings and delicate porcelain figures.

Both Baca House and Bloom Mansion are surrounded by historic gardens. Baca House has a large kitchen garden as well as native trees and plants. Bloom Mansion has old stock grape and trumpet vines, century-old trees, and colorful flowers. Garden restoration and research is in progress on both.

The Santa Fe Trail Museum presents exhibits from the Trail days through the turn of the century in Trinidad. Displays include historic photographs, commercial goods, and family heirlooms.
