Trinidad History Museum...

Santa Fe Trail Museum, The Baca House, Bloom Mansion, and the Historic Gardens are all located in one spot. Four attractions in one Visit!!!

Step back in time at the Trinidad History Musem, a unique complex overlooking the Santa Fe Trail. Historic photographs, family possessions, and commercial goods evoke the lifeways of the early inhabitants of the southeastern Colorado in the Santa Fe Trail Museum, which extends behind two distinguished hilltop residences.

The Baca House was built toward the end of the Santa Fe Trail era in 1870. Later purchased by Felipe and Maria Dolores Baca, the adobe home blends Hispanic folk art with Victorian furniture.

Next door stands the Bloom Mansion, the Victorian home of cattle baron Frank Bloom and his wife Sarah. Constructed in 1882, the house, which is French in design, is filled with ornate furnishings. Brick pathways wind through a landscape of century old trees, historic gardens filled with herbs and vegetables of the Hispanic Southwest, and recreated Victorian flower beds.
