Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This Hacienda is somewhat interesting. Most rooms have just old staff in very poor condition. The history of the Hacienda relates to trade and the Hispanic heritage of New Mexico. Of interest, rooms do not have windows. It shows the living conditions of that time which were actually primitive. Aspects related to Catholicism are interesting; the bultos may call your attention. The place is poorly kept.
To visit you have to pay a 10 dollar ticker per person. Parking is free and in front of the main entrance. The front desk lady is just focused on her cell phone; I suggest the owners to ask the lady to help with the maintenance of the site. The hacienda is not visited by many; during the times with no visitors, that lady could dust and broom the exhibits.

Based on other TA reviews we came to La Hacienda to learn more about living in Taos in the past. It's an interesting stop, one that allows you to look into the rooms of the hacienda at your own pace. You don't need a lot of time here, but they do provide you with interesting information about the Martinez family who lived there.

I first visited this site in 1992 and enjoyed every inch of it. It has fallen into some disrepair - and certainly the lack of tourist dollars due to Covid19 has not helped. But It's mostly plaster/adobe work that needs to be done and we were happy to see a crew busy at that task. It will take time to finish - but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. It means you SHOULD go! Help them keep this unique site so everyone can see what life was like in the 1800's. It's a gorgeous drive out to the Hacienda, and it's in a very quiet part of town - away from the busy bustle of central Taos.

Unique opportunity to go back in time as you wander through this house at your own pace. We loved being on our own rather than guided in a big group, as has been the case in so many other house museums we have been to. Especially loved the kitchen with the beds above the stove, the storage containers for grains, the chapel, and the room set up for children visitors to play in. I wished we had had our grandson with us! We enjoyed a picnic lunch on the grass beside the tranquil babbling creek.

Interesting little living Museum with many rooms to go into. Beautiful weather when we visited. Make sure to open the doors and go into all of the rooms. It's $10 at the door and you get a pamphlet for a self guided tour of the place.

A delightful view of a past generation. I was delighted to finally visit this small museum. Well, not small, 20+ rooms to visit on your own with a very helpful brochure, very good descriptions to read. One can read about former generations having just wool to wear (cotton was expensive), having no heat except a fireplace in each room but to see this all at your own speed and comprehension. A great addition to anyone who wants to know more about New Mexican history.

Rich in local history, if you love a local museum and an architecture activity… this place is for you. We enjoyed walking through the casa and learning about how they lived in the Spanish colonial era. $8 entry, self guided.

Use your GPS to get there and leave. Off the main road a bit. Interesting trading post from the old days. Be sure to go into each room, even though the doors are closed. Was open when so many other places in NM were closed due to the virus.

In this well preserved farmhouse from 1804 you can see the life of farming people back in the day. Inside there are two central areas from which you can open the doors and explore.

The Hacienda was built in the 1600's and over time became an important trading center in the early days of New Mexico. The building has been restored and each of the 17 open rooms has a different display of how it was in those early days and how things were done. It became a wealthy and important family in early New Mexico. The museum is very well done and very informative. It is just outside Taos and well worth the trip.

When are Trade Days scheduled for 2015?
Written 30 March 2015
Hi Stephen, We see that this question was from some time ago and we apologize for our tardiness in responding. Your question is still a good one, however. The annual Trade Fair here at the Hacienda is usually held the first weekend in Fall, near the end of September. Please check our website if you are planning a visit next year. Thanks! Peter
