Taos Art Museum
Taos Art Museum opened in 1994 to exhibit the collection of Edwin and Novella Lineberry in memory of his first wife, the artist Duane Van Vechten. With deep roots in the Taos art community and a shared commitment to supporting artists and preserving local culture, the Van Vechtens played a vital role in shaping the museum's vision and future Fechin House In 1923, artist Nicolai Fechin and his family emigrated from Russia to New York and later moved to Taos at Mabel Dodge Luhan’s invitation. After buying a modest adobe home in 1927, they spent five years transforming it into an innovative Pueblo and Mission Revival residence, with Nicolai carving elaborate woodwork and crafting custom fixtures. After the family’s divorce, the home fell into disuse until daughter Eya restored it in the 1970s. It was listed on the National Register in 1979. Things to Do Historic Fechin Studio The Historic Fechin Studio served as Nicolai Fechin’s personal workspace, where he painted, carved, and experimented with design while living in Taos. Built with the same attention to handcrafted detail found in the Fechin House, the studio features his signature woodwork, natural light, and custom fixtures. Today, it stands as a preserved artistic landmark, offering visitors insight into Fechin’s creative process and contributions to Southwestern art. The Janis and Roy Coffee Gallery This contemporary exhibition space celebrates the breadth and depth of Taos's artistic legacy and is named in honor of Janis and Roy Coffee, longtime supporters and passionate collectors, whose extraordinary generosity has helped shape the museum's future.

Taos Farmers Market
Taos has a sense of place. Its connections to the land and to culture span centuries. For the Town of Taos, its heart is the Plaza, and the Taos Farmers Market is a big part of the future of the historic district. For 28 weeks, each Saturday morning becomes a true community event. When the market is open, Taos in all its multi-culturalism and diversity is represented when Native American, Spanish, Anglo, Asian, and many other people who also call themselves Taoseño, meet to enjoy what is no less than a small weekly festival. Peak season, over 1000 people come to enjoy the market, and the Plaza is full with 71 booths. Locally grown produce, plants, cut flowers, baked goods and hot food are the real treasure of the market, but we also enjoy a little music by Taos musicians, and meeting friends to share recipes, and to talk, and mainly just to celebrate living in Taos. 2025 Market Season May 10 – October 25, 2025 Saturdays 8am-12:30pm First 4 Saturdays in November 9am-12pm (get all your Thanksgiving meal locally!) Vendors Farmers and Ranchers – Most of all its about the farm-fresh food! The market tops out at 71 booths where farmers sell their produce, meat, eggs, dairy and honey. All items come from a limited geographic region from Taos and its surroundings. No reselling is allowed. It is the best, healthiest, freshest possible produce. 100% authentic and local. Bakers – Our market is known for its delicious baked goods. Many people enjoy a scone or cinnamon roll sitting on a plaza bench, and then do their market shopping. Prepared Foods – Not the best cook? Don’t know what to do with that beautiful fennel? We got you covered with our prepared food vendors. From salsa to quiche take home a taste of the region. Prepared food vendors must use 80% local ingredients to be allowed to vend their delicious fares. Cut Flowers – There is no better florist than one who grows from seed to petal and we can’t help but have a natural preference for all things local. Our New Mexican native flowers and plants sure have something special…and stunning! Body Products – We choose our body products vendors based on how much local agriculture or wild-harvested ingredients they use in their products. There’s nothing like the aromatherapy & healing properties of Northern New Mexico’s vegetation: sage, pinon, wild rose, juniper Market Shopping Tips Walk through the market before you buy. Walk the entire market, taking mental notes along the way, then decide what to purchase. Take a few chances! Try something new or combine ingredients in a different way. Fill enchiladas with squash and eggplant and use fresh peaches in barbecue sauce. Challenge yourself. Make a whole meal using only products you buy at the market. Make a deal on scratch-and-dent produce. For sauces and many salads, slightly damaged fruits and vegetables are just fine.= Arrive early for specialty items. If you’re buying common items like sweet corn in mid-July, you don’t have to be there when the market opens. But for specialty items such as the pea and sunflower sprouts to use in salads and risotto, show up first. Focus on quality rather than price. Instead of haggling over every item, focus on quality and building a relationship with the farmer. “Better to pay a quarter more for nicer produce or a better relationship with a vendor.” Make good relationships to get better products. Get to know a farmer, and you can ask about what’s coming into season, what is at its peak of flavor and for something special to be grown for you. And you can comfortably give feedback on a product. Ask for samples. Most farmers are willing to let you try before you buy. If you don’t see something, ask. Maybe the farmer can tell you who has that product or when it will be available. Farmers markets are food communities. Bring your own bags. Or else you can buy a Taos Farmers Market canvas bag or Ghana basket at the info booth!

Love Apple
The Love Apple is a small thirteen table restaurant. Our food is nonlinear, inspired by northern New Mexican farmers’ fare and slow summer sunsets. We live in an old chapel replete with thick adobe walls and a crooked steeple. Our food is farm to table northern New Mexican. Our service is casual fine dining. Our Food Because we use as many seasonal, locally grown ingredients as possible, our menu changes seasonally, with nightly specials highlighting peak of the season specialties. We use local hormone free, grass-fed and finished meat, locally milled flour, produce from a variety of local farms, cheese made in New Mexico and Colorado and exclusively organic dairy. Everything is made from scratch. The wine list changes constantly reflecting nuances in the menu and the following philosophy, best summarized by author and wine critic Alice Feiring: “I’m looking for the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers and the Edith Whartons of the wine world. I want my wines to tell a good story. I want them natural and, most of all, like my good friends, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. I’m trying to swell the ranks of those who love the differences in each vintage, who abhor homogenization, who want wines that make them smile, think, laugh and feel sexy…” Love Apple Sample Dinner Menu Plan Your Visit Hours of Operation We serve Dinner Wedneaday through Sunday from 5:00PM until close. Directions We are found one mile north of the Taos Plaza, on the right side of the road, between Laughing Horse & Lotta Burger North.

Taos Ski Valley
In the early 1950s, Swiss ski pioneer Ernie Blake spotted this awe-inspiring mountain's towering vertical and snow aspect at the base of the Rocky Mountains from his Cessna 170 during his routine commute between the Santa Fe Ski Basin and the Glenwood Ski Area. From that day forward, Blake, his wife, Rhoda, and their children, dedicated their lives to building a destination, their way. The whole family relocated to what is now Taos Ski Valley in an eleven-foot camper and got to work. What began as a small hill with just one lift and one run (the current Snakedance on the frontside steeps), quickly grew into a world-class resort with the help of other ski pioneers like Jean Mayer, the French junior champion skier who arrived in 1957 to found the award-winning Ski School and create the revolutionary Ski Week tradition. The Blakes created a pure mountain experience, where local culture and traditional European hospitality formed a welcoming spirit rooted in the natural environment. That essence remains at the core of the resort to this day. Certified B Corporation We are committed to enjoying, protecting, and giving back to these mountains and our community. This is why we pursued the B Corporation certification in 2017 becoming the first mountain resort to obtain certification. Being a B Corp helps us learn how to use our business as a force for good for our environment, our workplace, our community, and our guests by providing a framework to conduct our business in a responsible manner to benefit our stakeholders. It also connects us to the community of certified B Corp businesses around the world that inspire and challenge us to be better. B Corp Certification gives us a benchmark to improve our performance so that we continue to focus on beneficial practices such as calculating and reducing our carbon footprint, paying living wages, providing benefits that are meaningful to our staff, and supporting other responsible businesses. The certification is not an end game, but a guideline to help us be better. Please check out our annual report below to review our progress.

Hardwood Museum of Art
Since 1916, when Burt and Lucy Harwood first purchased the property at the end of historic Ledoux Street, art and education have been the soul of the Harwood experience. In 1923, Lucy Harwood established the Harwood Foundation, making us the second oldest museum in New Mexico. Beginning in 1929, we served as the University of New Mexico’s Art Field School. In 1935, the Harwood was gifted to the University. In 1937 we were a WPA workshop for woodcarving and tinwork. And in 1938, a Spanish Revival style addition designed by renowned architect John Gaw Meem transformed the Harwood into a cultural center. We were the public library of Taos from 1937 to 1996. In 1997 and 2010, major renovations transformed us into the premier art museum in Taos including the addition of the world-famous Agnes Martin Gallery and subsequently the addition of the Arthur Bell Auditorium. Today the Harwood is recognized as the leading art museum in the region. Things to Do Current & Upcoming Exhibitions Our six permanent collection galleries showcase exhibitions that feature both historic and contemporary Taos art. We display Traditional Hispanic work from the 18th century to the Taos Society of Artists, mid-century moderns, Taos Moderns, late-20th Century artists, and contemporary artists living and working in the Taos community today. We are home to the world-renowned Agnes Martin Gallery, and Ken Price’s unique Death Shrine I installation, both on permanent display.
