San Marcos/Lone Butte

The area turquoise and lead deposits were critical to the jewelry and pottery making of the prehistoric Indians and these mines influenced Spanish settlement. The Cerrillos mining district is one of the oldest and most marked of the Old Spanish Mineral Developments in the Southwest. In fact, turquoise mined here found its way to the crown jewels of Spain. Cerrillos was full of hearty miners who extracted gold, silver, lead, zinc and turquoise from area mines at its peak in the 1880’s. The miners supported the town’s 21 saloons and four hotels. While it was once seriously considered as the capitol of New Mexico, today Cerrillos, with its dirt streets, is a picturesque reminder of the Old West. There are several shops & galleries, the Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum and Petting Zoo. New Mexico State Parks has a visitor center on Main Street for the Cerrillos Hills Historic Park which has 5.2 miles of hiking and biking trails. The town has been the setting for several motion pictures. Saint Joseph’s church has mass Sunday morning. (505) 471-1562.
