    The museum’s three landmark buildings and heritage gardens occupy a block in Trinidad’s historic district. Colorful furnishings in the adobe home of early citizens Dolores and Felipe Baca evoke the family’s lifestyle. The Bloom Mansion, home of banker and cattle baron Frank Bloom, is surrounded by century-old trees and beautiful gardens. Enjoy behind-the-scenes tours while History Colorado restores the home to its original glory. 

    Purchase tickets for tours at the bookstore (312 E. Main Street) or in the Santa Fe Trail Museum (120 S. Chestnut, corner of Chestnut and First Streets).
