The Pueblo peoples have lived in this area of New Mexico for over 1,000 years. This complex is another UNESCO World Heritage site and also a National Historic Landmark. Enjoy the pictures.

P.S. As today is election day in the United States, I believe that some of our residents need to be reminded that this land of New Mexico was once a Spanish colony and then controlled by the Mexicans as their territory from 1824 to 1848. And of course, a war changed that.
