The multistory Taos Pueblo is one of the most popular attractions, and is where the city&#8217;s Native Americans lived centuries ago. The town has also been a thriving artist colony for decades, and now has several museums and art galleries in the town. Two of these museums are located in Taos: the Harwood Museum of Art and the Taos Art Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Couse-Sharp Historic Site offers visitors a glimpse into Taos&#8217;s history and culture, and includes a number of rooms filled with paintings, personal items, and artifacts. Visitors can also browse the museum&#8217;s small gift shop, where they can find items that celebrate Taos&#8217; religious and cultural heritage. And while you&#8217;re there, make sure to stop by the Harwood Museum of Art, which was founded in 1923. The Taos Art Museum houses a large collection of Hispanic and native art, and is a perfect place to spend some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many museums in Taos, including the Ernest Blumenschein Home and Studio. The Harwood Museum is the only museum in town that focuses on the history of the area. It is home to a variety of art pieces and is an excellent place to find a new piece of art. It also has a meditation room and is a must-visit attraction for mushroom hunters. If you&#8217;re lucky enough to see a Chanterelle, you&#8217;re in luck. At over 8,000 feet above sea level, they grow abundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town&#8217;s museums include the Millicent Rogers Museum, a museum dedicated to the arts and culture of Taos. The museum displays numerous works of art by local and indigenous artists. The Old Taos County Courthouse was painted in 1934 and is worth a visit. And don&#8217;t miss the nearby Orilla Verde Recreation Area, which has camping facilities and an endless amount of fun opportunities. There are several art galleries and studios in the area, so you can find the perfect pieces of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Orilla Verde Recreation Area is a great place to explore if you&#8217;re traveling with kids. The site has many amenities, including campsites, scenic trails, a boat launch, picnic shelters, and clean restrooms. Besides, kids will love the numerous activities in this park. The Orilla Verde Recreation Area is also a great place to meet with friends. During your stay in Taos, you can also visit K-Tao&#8217;s famous radio station and radio tower to learn about the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Orilla Verde Recreation Area has seven campgrounds. These campsites are great for families, and you can enjoy stargazing at night. If you prefer a historical museum, visit the Kit Carson Museum, which was built in 1825. There, you can learn about the area&#8217;s history and culture. The museum also has fun programs that children will love. And if you&#8217;re looking for something a little different, head for the charming village of Santa Fe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Situated in northern New Mexico&#8217;s high desert, Taos is known for its historic adobe buildings and ruins.
