IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE
TAOS COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY


 

Dear TCHS Members,

Happy Easter Week! Hope you and your loved ones are safe during this global coronavirus pandemic.

Together, we are facing a truly extraordinary situation and, during this time, we wanted to reach out and update you on how we’re approaching the situation. We are still planning to continue with our monthly lectures as soon as the quarantine is lifted.  Our hope is that the first Saturday in June will be the safe date to plan on.

Our Spring Luncheon was re-scheduled for Sunday, August 09, 2020 at the Sagebrush Inn.  At that time, the latest Ayer y Hoy publication will be distributed.
We invite you to visit our website taoscountyhistoricalsociety.org as we will keep our plans and schedule updated there for your information. 

Ernestina Cordova, President
and Board of Directors

Taos County Historical Society
has successully launched
"TAOS: A Topical History"

320 pages, 26 chapters and contributors.

Mil Gracias, A THOUSAND THANKS, does not begin to cover the many, many individuals to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. This debt is not only the living but also to those men and women who long ago began to preserve the journals and documents we now depend upon for knowledge of the past: the chroniclers who accompanied the explorers and settlers and who, dusty, tired and hungry, sat in the light of a candle to record in their journals the events of the day and the Franciscan clerics who made detailed reports of their canonical visits to the mission churches of Nuevo México.
