How to Protect Yourself & Others
KNOW HOW IT
SPREADS
There is currently no vaccine to prevent
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The best way to prevent illness is to
avoid being exposed to this virus.
The virus is thought to spread mainly
from person-to-person.
• Between people who are in close
contact with one another (within
about 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or talks.
• These droplets can land in the
mouths or noses of people who are
nearby or possibly be inhaled into
the lungs.
• Some recent studies have
suggested that COVID-19 may
be spread by people who are not
showing symptoms.
WASH YOUR
HANDS OFTEN
• Wash your hands often with soap
and water for at least 20 seconds
especially after you have been in a
public place, or after blowing your
nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily
available, use a hand sanitizer
that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Cover all surfaces of your hands
and rub them together until they
feel dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose,
and mouth with unwashed hands.
AVOID CLOSE
CONTACT
• Avoid close contact with people
who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and
other people.
• Remember that some people
without symptoms may be able
to spread virus.
• Keeping distance from others is
especially important for people
who are at higher risk of getting
very sick.

Sante Fe, New Mexico
Santa Fe is the capital of the U.S. state of New Mexico. It is the
fourth-largest city in New Mexico with a population of 84,683 in
2019, the county seat of Santa Fe County, and its metropolitan
area is part of the larger Albuquerque–Santa Fe–Las Vegas combined
statistical area which features a population of 1,178,664
as of the 2018 Census Bureau estimate. The city was founded
in 1610 as capital of Nuevo México, after it replaced Española
as capital, which makes it the oldest state capital in the United
States. With an elevation of 7,199 feet (2,194 m), it is also the
state capital with the highest elevation.
It is considered one of the world’s great art cities, due to its many
art galleries and installations, and is recognized by UNESCO’s
Creative Cities Network. Cultural highlights include Santa Fe
Plaza and the Palace of the Governors, and the Fiesta de Santa
Fe, as well as distinct New Mexican cuisine restaurants and New
Mexico music performances. Among the numerous art galleries
and installations are, for example, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is
located in the city, as is a gallery by cartoonist Chuck Jones,
along with newer art collectives such as Meow Wolf.
The area surrounding Santa Fe was occupied for at least several
thousand years by indigenous peoples who built villages several
hundred years ago on the current site of the city. It was known
by the Tewa inhabitants as Ogha Po’oge (“White Shell Water
Place”). The name of the city of Santa Fe means “holy faith” in
Spanish, and the city’s full name as founded remains La Villa
Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís (“The Royal Town
of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Before European colonization of the Americas, the area Santa
Fe occupied between 900 CE and the 1500s was known to the
Tewa peoples as Oghá P’o’oge (“White Shell Water Place”) and
by the Navajo people as Yootó (‘Bead’ ‘Water Place’). In 1610,
Juan de Oñate established the area as Santa Fe de Nuevo México–a
province of New Spain. Formal Spanish settlements were
developed leading the colonial governor Pedro de Peralta to rename
the area La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de
Asís (the Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi).
The Spanish phrase “Santa Fe” is translated as “Holy Faith” in
English. Although more commonly known as Santa Fe, the city’s
full, legal name remains to this day as La Villa Real de la Santa
Fe de San Francisco de Asís. The full name of the city is in both
the seal and the flag of the city, although, as pointed out by Associated
Press in 2020, Assisi in Spanish is misspelled, reading
Aśis instead of Asís.
The standard Spanish variety pronounces it SAHN-tah-FAY as
contextualized within the city’s full, Spaniard name La Villa Real
de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís. However, due to the
large amounts of tourism and immigration into Santa Fe, an English
pronunciation of SAN-tuh-FAY is also commonly used.
History
The area of Santa Fe was originally occupied by indigenous
Tanoan peoples, who lived in numerous Pueblo villages along
the Rio Grande. One of the earliest known settlements in what
today is downtown Santa Fe came sometime after 900 CE. A
group of native Tewa built a cluster of homes that centered
around the site of today’s Plaza and spread for half a mile to the
south and west; the village was called Oghá P’o’oge in Tewa The
Tanoans and other Pueblo peoples settled along the Santa Fe
River for its water and transportation.
The river had a year-round flow until the 1700s. By the 20th century
the Santa Fe River was a seasonal waterway. As of 2007, the
river was recognized as the most endangered river in the United
States, according to the conservation group American Rivers.
Don Juan de Oñate led the first European effort to colonize the
region in 1598, establishing Santa Fe de Nuevo México as a

province of New Spain. Under Juan de Oñate
and his son, the capital of the province was
the settlement of San Juan de los Caballeros
north of Santa Fe near modern Ohkay Owingeh
Pueblo. Juan de Oñate was banished and exiled
from New Mexico by the Spanish, after his
rule was deemed cruel towards the indigenous
population. New Mexico’s second Spanish governor,
Don Pedro de Peralta, however, founded
a new city at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains in 1607, which he called La Villa Real
de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís, the
Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of
Assisi. In 1610, he designated it as the capital
of the province, which it has almost constantly
remained, making it the oldest state capital in
the United States. Lack of Native American
representation within New Mexico’s early government
led to the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, when
groups of different Native Pueblo peoples were
successful in driving the Spaniards out of New
Mexico to El Paso, the Pueblo continued running
New Mexico proper from the Palace of the
Governors in Santa Fe from 1680 to 1692. The
territory was reconquered in 1692 by Don Diego
de Vargas through the war campaign called the
“Bloodless Reconquest” which was criticized
as violent even at the time, it was actually the
following governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdez
that truly started to broker peace, such as the
founding of Albuquerque, to guarantee better
representation and trade access for Pueblos in
New Mexico’s government. Other governors of
New Mexico, such as Tomás Vélez Cachupin,
continued to be better known for their more forward
thinking work with the indigenous population
of New Mexico. Santa Fe was Spain’s
provincial seat at outbreak of the Mexican War
of Independence in 1810. It was considered important
to fur traders based in present-day Saint
Louis, Missouri. When the area was still under
Spanish rule, the Chouteau brothers of Saint
Louis gained a monopoly on the fur trade, before
the United States acquired Missouri under
the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The fur trade
contributed to the wealth of St. Louis. The city’s
status as the capital of the Mexican territory of
Santa Fe de Nuevo México was formalized in
the 1824 Constitution after Mexico achieved independence
from Spain.
When the Republic of Texas seceded from
Mexico in 1836, it attempted to claim Santa Fe
and other parts of Nuevo México as part of the
western portion of Texas along the Río Grande.
In 1841, a small military and trading expedition
set out from Austin, intending to take control of
the Santa Fe Trail. Known as the Texan Santa

Fe Expedition, the force was poorly prepared and was easily
captured by the New Mexican military.
In 1846, the United States declared war on Mexico. Brigadier
General Stephen W. Kearny led the main body of his Army of
the West of some 1,700 soldiers into Santa Fe to claim it and
the whole New Mexico Territory for the United States. By 1848
the U.S. officially gained New Mexico through the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Colonel Alexander William Doniphan, under the command of
Kearny, recovered ammunition from Santa Fe labeled “Spain
1776” showing both the lack of communications and quality
military support New Mexico received under Mexican rule.
Some American visitors at first saw little promise in the remote
town. One traveller in 1849 wrote: “I can hardly imagine
how Santa Fe is supported. The country around it is barren.
At the North stands a snow-capped mountain while the valley
in which the town is situated is drab and sandy. The streets
are narrow ... A Mexican will walk about town all day to sell
a bundle of grass worth about a dime. They are the poorest
looking people I ever saw. They subsist principally on mutton,
onions and red pepper.” In 1851, Jean Baptiste Lamy
arrived, becoming bishop of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah,
and Colorado in 1853. During his leadership, he traveled to
France, Rome, Tucson, Los Angeles, St. Louis, New Orleans,
and Mexico City. He built the Santa Fe Saint Francis Cathedral
and shaped Catholicism in the region until his death in 1888.
As part of the New Mexico Campaign of the Civil War, General
Henry Sibley occupied the city, flying the Confederate flag
over Santa Fe for a few days in March 1862. Sibley was forced
to withdraw after Union troops destroyed his logistical trains
following the Battle of Glorieta Pass. The Santa Fe National
Cemetery was created by the federal government after the
war in 1870 to inter the Union soldiers who died fighting there.
On October 21, 1887, Anton Docher, “The Padre of Isleta”,
went to New Mexico where he was ordained as a priest in
the St Francis Cathedral of Santa Fe by Bishop Jean-Baptiste
Salpointe. After a few years serving in Santa Fe, Bernalillo and
Taos, he moved to Isleta on December 28, 1891. He wrote
an ethnological article published in The Santa Fé Magazine
in June 1913, in which he describes early 20th century life in
the Pueblos.
As railroads were extended into the West, Santa Fe was originally
envisioned as an important stop on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway. But as the tracks were constructed into
New Mexico, the civil engineers decided that it was more
practical to go through Lamy, a town in Santa Fe County to the
south of Santa Fe. A branch line was completed from Lamy to
Santa Fe in 1880. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad
extended the narrow gauge Chili Line from the nearby
city of Española to Santa Fe in 1886.
The re-construction of the St. Francis Cathedral with the plaza
visible (1885)
Neither was sufficient to offset the negative effects of Santa
Fe’s having been bypassed by the main railroad route. It suffered
gradual economic decline into the early 20th century.
Activists created a number of resources for the arts and archaeology,
notably the School of American Research, created
in 1907 under the leadership of the prominent archaeologist
Edgar Lee Hewett. In the early 20th century, Santa Fe became
a base for numerous writers and artists. The first airplane to fly
over Santa Fe was piloted by Rose Dugan, carrying Vera von
Blumenthal as passenger. Together the two women started
the development of the Pueblo Indian pottery industry, helping
native women to market their wares. They contributed to
the founding of the annual Santa Fe Indian Market.
In 1912, New Mexico was admitted as the United States of
America’s 47th state, with Santa Fe as its capital.

San Miguel Mission
San Miguel Mission (Spanish: Misión de San
Miguel), also known as San Miguel Chapel,
is a Spanish colonial mission church
in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally built
around 1610, it is often referred to as the
oldest church in the United States (excluding
Puerto Rico), though it is likely that little
of the original structure is still present. The
church was rebuilt twice, once in the mid to
late 17th century, and again in 1710 following
the Pueblo Revolt. In both cases earlier
pieces of the building may have been
reused, though it is unclear to what extent.
The wooden reredos, which includes a
wooden statue of Saint Michael dating back
to at least 1709, was added in 1798.
The church is a contributing property in the
Barrio De Analco Historic District, which
is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. As
of 2020, weekly Mass is still offered at the
chapel on Sundays.
The original San Miguel church was probably
built shortly after the founding of Santa
Fe in 1610 and was the first church in the
new settlement. It was built across the Santa
Fe River from the villa proper in an area
referred to as the Barrio de Analco, which
was inhabited mainly by native people including
some Tlaxcalans who had accompanied
the Spanish settlers from Mexico.
Since missionary work was a priority for the
Spaniards, they built a church to serve this
population before building their own Parroquia
or parish church near the Plaza. In
1630, Alonso de Benavides reported,
Only it [Santa Fe] lacked the principal thing,
which was the church, that which they had
being only a poor ‘jacal’; because the Friars
gave their first attention to building churches
for the Indians whom they converted and
among whom they lived and labored; and
therefore as soon as I became Custodian, I
began to build the church and convento, to
the honor and glory of God.”
The San Miguel mission was first mentioned
in writing in 1628, indicating it was in use
at that point. Although intended as a mission,
the Spanish also used it as their parish
church until the Parroquia was completed.
The original San Miguel church was probably
smaller than the present structure,
with a rectangular apse, a slightly raised
sanctuary, and a simple front elevation with
no towers. The surviving foundations were
excavated and studied by Bruce Ellis and
Stanley Stubbs in 1955. In 1640, escalating
conflict between Governor Luis de Rosas
and the Franciscan missionaries who ran
the church in New Mexico led to all of the
Franciscans being expelled from Santa Fe,
and the mission was partially or completely
dismantled. De Rosas was later jailed and
the Franciscans were able to return and rebuild
the mission. It was damaged again in
the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, when the Pueblo
people rose up in a coordinated rebellion to
drive the Spanish from New Mexico.
When Diego de Vargas led the Spanish
back into Santa Fe in 1692, he found the
mission burned but reparable. According
to his official report, dated December 18,
1693,
I went to examine the church or hermitage
which was used as a parish church for the
Mexican Indians who lived in the said town
under the title of the invocation of their patron,
the Archangel San Miguel. And having
examined it, though of small dimensions,
and not for the accommodation of a great
number; notwithstanding, on account of
said inclemency of the weather, and the urgency
of having a church in which should
be celebrated the Divine Office and the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass... [I] recognized
that it is proper to roof said walls, and to
FOR GREAT OFFERS AND FREEBIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD VISIT OURTOWNSDEALS.COM • ©2020 DISCOVER THE BEST OF MAGAZINE • OURTOWNSFINEST.COM • 818-573-5443 8

white-wash and repair its windows in a
manner that shall be the quickest, easiest,
briefest, and least laborious to said
natives.
The parties alluded to being present, I
ordered that they should send said natives;
having taken measures in respect to
the lumber aforesaid, and having offered
them axes, and mules for its fast conveyance,
that those who were adapted to
hewing said lumber should do so, and
that those who were fit for the trade of
masons in repairing said walls should be
ordered in like manner, and that I, on my
part, should have the Spaniards whom I
had with me to assist thereat.
According to L. Bradford Prince, the repairs
“were probably hasty and temporary”.
A more thorough rebuilding was
undertaken in 1710 under the direction
of Don Agustín Flores Vergara, who is
named on the main beam supporting
the choir loft along with the governor at
the time, the Marquis de la Peñuela. The
church was probably rebuilt on the same
foundations and had the same layout as
the earlier building, except that the apse
was apparently changed from rectangular
to trapezoidal. San Miguel was visited in
1776 by Fray Atanasio Domínguez, who
wrote a thorough description:
It is of adobes, the walls not very thick,
single-naved, 8 varas [22 feet (6.7 m)]
high up to the bed molding, not quite as
wide, and 23 varas [63 feet (19 m)] long
from the door to the high altar. Its ceiling
consists of round beams without corbels,
and there are twenty-one as far as a clerestory
like those mentioned elsewhere. The
choir loft is across the width of the chapel
over the main door on fourteen round
beams which rest on a heavy cross timber.
Its projection, or depth, is 3 1/2 varas
[9.6 feet (2.9 m)], and it has a balustrade.
There are three windows in this chapel,
two on the Epistle side that face south,
and one to the west in the choir loft over
the main door, which also faces west. The
door is squared, set in a wooden frame,
has two leaves and no key, but it does
have a crossbar. Over the main door is a
small arch with a little bell.
At some point after Domínguez’ visit, possibly
in the 1830s, the present bell tower
was added to the front of the church.
By the time of the American occupation
in 1846, masses were being held in the
church only twice a year. The top levels
of the tower collapsed during a storm in
1872 and by the 1880s the entire structure
was in poor condition. In 1881, the Archdiocese
of Santa Fe sold the little-used
building to the Christian Brothers who
operated the adjacent St. Michael’s College.
Under their ownership, the church
was restored in 1887, rebuilding the bell
tower and stabilizing the walls with stone
buttresses. This project gave the building
a more European appearance, adding
arched openings and a pitched metal
roof to the front elevation. These elements
were later removed in 1955 during the
most recent remodeling of the church.
San Miguel Mission is constructed from
adobe, with a single rectangular nave and
a trapezoidal apse. The walls are approximately
5 feet (1.5 m) thick. The church
interior is about 24 feet (7.3 m) wide, 70
feet (21 m) long, and 25 feet (7.6 m) high.
The ceiling is supported by wooden vigas,
of which two are square and are thought
to date to 1710, while the remainder are
round and are newer replacements. A
clerestory above the sanctuary and a high
window in the south wall provide light inside
the church. The choir loft is supported
by a heavy, corbeled beam spanning
the width of the nave which in turn supports
13 perpendicular carved beams.
The main beam is inscribed:
The front elevation of the church faces
west and has a central bell tower with a
single small window and a larger open
void directly above the main entrance.
The building is supported by five stone
buttresses added in 1887, two on the front
and three on the north side. To the south
of the nave are a sacristy, robing room,
and storage and residence areas.

Canyon Road
Canyon Road is an art district in
Santa Fe, New Mexico, United
States with over a hundred art
galleries and studios exhibiting a
wide range of art, including Native
American art and antiquities,
historical and contemporary Latino
art, regional art, international folk
art, and contemporary art.
Canyon Road is a long, narrow road
that leads to the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains. It runs parallel to the
Acequia Madre (“mother ditch”),
an irrigation ditch dating back to
1680. Prior to Spanish arrival, the
road was a footpath between the
Santa Fe River Valley and Pecos
Pueblo.
Canyon Road was once a primarily
residential neighborhood. Houses
built in the Pueblo Revival style, in
accordance with the local Spanish
Colonial and Pueblo methods, were
constructed with adobe walls and
courtyards, often as compounds
for extended family.
Artists were drawn to its beauty,
particularly the Los Cinco Pintores
in the 1920s. Olive Rush (1873–
1966) was a prominent early Canyon
Road artist who maintained a
studio at 630 Canyon, which she
donated to the Society of Friends.
It is still a Quaker meeting hall today.
Over time, artists created a subculture
of artist-run studios and galleries,
and as Santa Fe became more
of a tourist destination, Canyon
Road became known to the wider
world.
Museum of
International Folk Art
The Museum of International Folk Art
is a state-run institution in Santa Fe,
New Mexico, United States. It is one
of many cultural institutions operated
by the New Mexico Department of Cultural
Affairs.
The museum was founded by Florence
Dibell Bartlett and opened to
the public in 1953 and has gained
national and international recognition
as the home to the world’s largest collection
of international folk art. The collection
of more than 135,000 artifacts
forms the basis for exhibitions in four
distinct wings: Bartlett, Girard, Hispanic
Heritage, and Neutrogena. The
original building, a gift to the state from
Bartlett, was designed by famed New
Mexico architect John Gaw Meem.
The Girard Wing, with its popular exhibition,
Multiple Visions: A Common
Bond, showcases folk art, popular art,
toys and textiles from more than 100
nations. The exhibition is unique in that
it was designed by the donor, Alexander
Girard, a leading architect and
designer. The collection includes toys
and dolls, costumes, masks, textiles of
all kinds, religious folk art, paintings,
beadwork, and more. More than a million
visitors have passed through the
doors into the special world of Girard

since the exhibition opened in 1982.
Popular with children and the young at
heart, the exhibit attracts visitors back
into the museum to find an old favorite,
or discover a new treasure in the
gallery. Multiple Visions: A Common
Bond displays approximately 10% of
the collection, the exhibit and collection
serve as an inspiration and resource
for scholars, artists and educators from
around the world, from preschool to
college level.
The Museum’s Neutrogena Collection
— donated by former Neutrogena CEO
Lloyd Cotsen in 1995 — comprises
more than 2,500 textiles, ceramics and
carvings from all over the world. The
Hispanic Heritage Wing opened in 1988
and, at that time, was the only designated
space for Spanish/Hispanic art in
the state. This wing underwent renovation
and reopened in the fall of 2009,
continuing its spotlight on Hispanic folk

Bandelier National
Monument
Bandelier National Monument is a
33,677-acre (13,629 ha) United States
National Monument near Los Alamos
in Sandoval and Los Alamos counties,
New Mexico. The monument preserves
the homes and territory of the Ancestral
Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest.
Most of the pueblo structures
date to two eras, dating between 1150
and 1600 AD.
The monument is 50 square miles
(130 km2) of the Pajarito Plateau, on
the slopes of the Jemez volcanic field
in the Jemez Mountains. Over 70% of
the monument is wilderness, with over
one mile of elevation change, from
about 5,000 feet (1,500 m) along the
Rio Grande to over 10,000 feet (3,000
m) at the peak of Cerro Grande on the
rim of the Valles Caldera, providing for
a wide range of life zones and wildlife
habitats. Three miles of road and
more than 70 miles of hiking trails are
built. The monument protects Ancestral
Pueblo archeological sites, a diverse
and scenic landscape, and the country’s
largest National Park Service Civilian
Conservation Corps National Landmark
District.

Bandelier was designated by President Woodrow
Wilson as a national monument on February 11,
1916, and named for Adolph Bandelier, a Swiss-
American anthropologist, who researched the cultures
of the area and supported preservation of the
sites. The park infrastructure was developed in the
1930s by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps
and is a National Historic Landmark for its well-preserved
architecture. The National Park Service cooperates
with surrounding Pueblos, other federal
agencies, and state agencies to manage the park.
Human presence in the area has been dated to
over 10,000 years before present. Permanent
settlements by ancestors of the Puebloan peoples
have been dated to 1150 CE; these settlers had
moved closer to the Rio Grande by 1550. The distribution
of basalt and obsidian artifacts from the
area, along with other traded goods, rock markings,
and construction techniques, indicate that its
inhabitants were part of a regional trade network
that included what is now Mexico. Spanish colonial
settlers arrived in the 18th century. The Pueblo
Jose Montoya brought Adolph Bandelier to visit the
area in 1880. Looking over the cliff dwellings, Bandelier
said, “It is the grandest thing I ever saw.”
Based on documentation and research by Bandelier,
support began for preserving the area and
President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation
creating the monument in 1916. Supporting infrastructure,
including a lodge, was built during the
1920s and 1930s. The structures at the monument
built during the Great Depression by the Civilian
Conservation Corps constitute the largest assembly
of CCC-built structures in a national park area
that has not been altered by new structures in the
district. This group of 31 buildings illustrates the
guiding principles of National Park Service Rustic
architecture, being based on local materials and
styles. It has been designated as a national landmark
district.
During World War II, the monument area was
closed to the public for several years, since the
lodge was being used to house personnel working
on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos to develop
an atom bomb. In 2019, Senator Martin Heinrich
(D-NM), announced plans to introduce legislation
to redesignate Bandelier National Monument as a
national park and preserve.

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks
National Monument
Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is a
U.S. National Monument located approximately 40
miles (64 km) southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico,
near Cochiti Pueblo. Managed by the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM), it was established as
a U.S. National Monument by President Bill Clinton
in January 2001. Kasha-Katuwe means “white
cliffs” in the Pueblo language Keresan. The monument
is a unit of the BLM’s National Conservation
Lands.
Kasha-Katuwe is located on the Pajarito Plateau between
5700 and 6400 feet (1737–1951 m) above
sea level. The area owes its remarkable geology to
layers of volcanic rock and ash deposited by pyroclastic
flow from eruptions within the volcanic
field of the Jemez Mountains that occurred 6 to 7
million years ago. These rock layers are assigned
to the Peralta Tuff. Many of the layers are light in
color, which is the origin of the monument’s Keresan
name. Over time, weathering and erosion
of these layers has created slot canyons and tent
rocks. The tent rocks are composed of soft pumice
and tuff. Most of the tent rocks have a distinctly
conical shape and some retain their caprocks of
harder stone. The tent rocks vary in height from a
few feet to 90 feet (27 m).
