Black Friday at the Aztec Museum and Pioneer Village

Trying to come up with a fun and inexpensive way to entertain the family over the Thanksgiving holiday AND walk off some carbs? Step back in time at the Aztec Museum & Pioneer Village on Friday, November 29th! Admission is just $5 dollars for the ENTIRE family. If they are related to you, they are in!

The museum and grounds will be open from 10:00am to 3:00pm on Black Friday with more than a dozen buildings and thousands of artifacts on display! You can check out the historic 1880 Log Cabin or the early 1900s Farm House replica and cooking implements. Trust us, you'll be thankful you didn't have to prepare a Thanksgiving meal back then!

It's American Indian Heritage Month, so enjoy their collection of Native American artifacts and arts & crafts, including pottery by world-renowned Maria Martinez- the most famous Native American Indian potter of her time! You can also honor our veterans by learning about local heroes such as Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, PFC Jose F. Valdez of Gobernador, in their military exhibit.

They have a 1927 Ford Model TT Truck, plus vintage oil & gas and agriculture & ranching implements! The kids are welcome to climb up into the cupola of the D&RG Caboose. Be sure to enjoy their 60th Anniversary exhibit, "Doors to the Past", with its variety of nostalgia from beautiful vintage clothing and local artifacts to historical photos and more! There is also the Mid-Century Collection on loan from Dana & Alan Reed, letting you share some "I remember that!" or "We had one of those!" moments with the grandkids!  You will find something interesting for absolutely everyone!
