Donate to the
Friends of Coronado & Jemez Historic Sites

Why donate? 

 

The goal of the Friends of Coronado Historic Site is to help maintain this uniquely beautiful and historic place and to increase awareness of the site in the general public, in educational institutions, and throughout New Mexico and the United States. Perhaps the biggest benefit is the knowledge that your donation supports the continued restoration, and conservation of the world famous murals and historic site.  We need your help to continue these efforts.

 

Coronado Historic Site is the location of Kuaua Pueblo, a 700-year old indigenous peoples' site, that was visited by Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and his expedition into New Mexico in 1540. Weather and time are taking their toll on this earthen historic ruin. Constant work is needed to preserve it.  The Kuaua pueblo was excavated in the 1930s by WPA workers, under the direction of qualified archaeologists. With over 1200 rooms and several kivas, the present visible remains give barely a hint of the extent of this major pueblo. Exceptional, unique, one-of-a-kind Native American fresco murals, recovered from one of the ancestral kivas, are respectfully displayed in the museum.
