A stop in the historic village of Cerrillos will take you to the 28 room hacienda of Todd and Patricia Brown. They, along with their six children built their home using 65,000 adobe mud bricks that they made. The building is remarkable and in the gift shop are minerals from the southwest and over 50 different products that they make including silver jewlery using turquoise from their mine, the Little Chalchihuitl, New Mexico mining claim # 166080. In the Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Mueseum there are displays on the Cerrillos Mining District, a large mineral collection, diaramas, photos, relics, antiques of the area and collections of many items. Our motto is "Beyond these doors the past lives on'. We have a small Petting Zoo containing goats, a brown llama, fancy chickens, pidgeons and a turkey - and in the shop you can buy food to feed the animals. It's truly live intertainment. Come by and visit!
