How often have you seen a Native American kiva next to a 16th century Spanish colonial church, gained a glimpse of military fort life, or walked through an historic town little changed from the 1800s?

The six New Mexico State Monuments allow for exactly such unique experiences, and allow the visitor to discover the diverse history and prehistory of the state—all within a few hours drive by car.

Our State Monuments include:

• Coronado Historic Site
• Fort Selden
• Fort Stanton
• Jemez Historic Site
• Lincoln Historic Site
• Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner that interprets the ''Long Walk'' in the 1860s.
• El Camino Real International Heritage Center that commemorates El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the historic trade route and its impact on New Mexico.

Each site tells a unique story, important to the understanding of New Mexico history. So join us in a day of discovery and Travel Back in Time. . . to each of the New Mexico Historic Sites.
