The interactive museum, which has welcomed visitors from all over the world, brings to life the 4,000-year history of farming and ranching in New Mexico. It is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the highest national honor for museums.

The enormous main building contains more than 24,000 square feet of exhibit space, along with catering space for meetings and events, a mercantile, and a theater.

Fun and learning go hand in hand as visitors stroll along corrals filled with livestock, enjoy several gardens or watch one of a growing number of demonstrations.
