I have a pretty strong interest in American history so we stopped in at the Kit Carson House and Museum located in Taos, New Mexico. The tour starts with a video about the life of Kit Carson, definitely helpful background if you’re not familiar with the man and the myth.
After the video presentation you can exit the theatre into the courtyard of the original house and head inside to tour several rooms filled with various artifacts and displays.
One of my favorite pieces is Kit Carson‘s Hawken rifle, it’s a replica of the original which is now located nearby in New Mexico, but is extremely well done and helpful to someone building a reproduction rifle of his own!
The museum is small, but very well done with interesting displays and good signage explaining the meaning of all of the pieces. This is a worthwhile quick stop if you’re in Taos and have interest in this era of American history!
