Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe

Outstanding journey across the history of New Mexico: from the Pueblos to the Second World War, passing through Po’Pay, the Mexican American War, Pancho Villa, the Manhattan Project. Nice temporary exhibitions.

I wanted to see more native Americans & Spanish colonial artifacts. Good display but not enough considering all the history passed down to us New Mexicans. My son enjoyed the seen through old wagons. The new palace hard wood floors are beautiful. Native history, landing of the conquistadors, Native American resistance, revolt, Mexican independence, the Mexican-American War, America’s westward expansion, birth of the territory & becoming a state. In 1862 the confederate flag even hung for 3 weeks. Just goes to show what strong & powerful people we have defended from . Cheers
