Nice half day excursion south of Santa Fe on the Turquoise Trail [Hwy 14], past the feedstore cafe [San Marcos Cafe], through the funky town of Madrid, and on to Golden–mostly a ghost town with a brief, but colorful history of gold mining in the Ortiz Mountains.
For 3 generations, the Henderson Store has been a resource for supplies for the mining community, and a commerce outlet for nearby pueblo jewelry, pottery and rugs. Stepping into the Henderson Store [also known as Bill & Vera’s] is a step back into time with many interesting mining relics and stories.
Look around in Santa Fe, but buy high quality, reasonably priced Native American rugs, jewelry, and pottery at Henderson’s Store. You won’t be disappointed!
Tell them Lynn & Karen sent you!
