A Renaissance In Ranchos de Taos
By Rebekah Powers | August 2022
Chimayo Trading is known as the place to go for historic weavings, paintings and Pueblo pottery. But many people who walk through the doors for the first time are just as stunned by the floors, the vigas, and the adobe architecture of the buildings themselves.
Almost 300 years old, we now occupy all of the historic rooms on the north side of the plaza, stretching toward the famous Saint Francis de Asis Church. The village and plaza are an example of the enduring spirit of the people who rebuilt the village and the church and recovered their community.
There couldn’t be a better setting for our art and antiquities collection! From the magnificence of monsoon skies, the cool evenings and good sleeping nights and days of sparkling sunshine bring people from all over the world to the Ranchos de Taos Plaza.
Yes, people come to Chimayo Trading for the turquoise and silver, the best landscape painters and all the Native American art forms, but they also enjoy walking on floor boards that were patched with tin, a ceiling of hand hewn boards and cash registers that are as old as the most collectible vintage works.
Now is the perfect time to experience Chimayo Trading and become part of the ongoing renaissance in Ranchos. One guest recently described our business as “a museum, only everything is for sale!” Step off the beaten path and into history at Chimayo Trading.
