Santa Fe Museum Hill on Milner Plaza
Milner Plaza on Museum Hill straddles a ridgetop once crossed by travelers on the Old Santa Fe Trail. Located in the close-in foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range, it provides a stunning view.
The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture and the historic Meem Auditorium in the Laboratory of Anthropology offer spectacular venues for private parties, receptions, and corporate events. The museum offers intimate settings for small groups and meetings, or ceremonies and celebrations. miaclab.org/facilities

Lincoln, a town frozen in time
In this quiet, one-street community your wedding guests can walk in the footsteps of Sheriff Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid, and other infamous characters involved in the Lincoln County War. Imagine your ceremony in the Old Lincoln County Courthouse or the San Juan Mission Church. Arrive on horseback or Harley.
Jemez, among the ruins at Giusewa
Imagine your event taking place among the massive stone walls of San Jose de los Jemez Mission, built about the time the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Rock. nmhistoricsites.org/jemez
