Visit the living hacienda any time of year.
The whole buiding is built with 65,000 hand made adobe bricks! The entire Brown Family amd many friends built this sprawling hacienda. The home was started in the late 70's and kept getting larger as the family and business grew. Today there are 28 rooms including the 5 room trading post and Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum. There is a nice collection of mining implements as "yard art" in the front of the Casa Grande as well as thousands of colored glass insulators or "crown jewels of the line" which is what they are called by railroad enthusiasts.
Assorted pictures include a spring rain, the Cerrillos Petting Zoo and collectable old glass bottles
Todd Brown in the Cerrillos Turquoise Musem shows off his hand made pre-historic mining diarama.
