It’s all so random and yet it feels like it makes sense. The 22-room museum is surrounded by winding walls made up of 50,000 glass bottles which just add to the eccentricity. Your preconceived notions will be shattered, you’ll leave with a smile on your face and you just may decide to not get rid of your own weird collections after all.
The 130-year-old building now houses an art gallery, all-natural grocery, mercantile boutique, yoga/dance studio, hair salon and spa. It hosts art openings, literary readings and cultural events along with a weekly farmer’s market, and has received a USDA commendation for its green practices. In many wonderful ways, it’s still a Whatnot Shop! more
Open seasonally and by appointment, TTSG features more than a dozen outdoor displays as well as a paper exhibit inside the gift shop. Walk around the property and, as you admire the delicate nature of paper translated into museum quality metal, feel your own sense of wonderment unfold. more
You can cover a lot of ground at this three-in-one stop owned and operated by Todd and Pat Brown. Start inside the 28-room hacienda, where you can explore the fascinating history of local turquoise mining through centuries-old artifacts and equipment.
Designated a National Scenic Byway in 2000, the Turquoise Trail is named for the precious stone first mined here centuries ago. You can learn lots more about that along the way as you stop in Cerrillos, one of the oldest historically documented mining towns in the country.
