Who We Are

Taylor-Mesilla Friends supports the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs by raising funds, sponsoring special events, and generally promoting the Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site.

In the spirit of J. Paul and Mary Taylor’s lifetime of service to the people of New Mexico, you too can help preserve New Mexico’s history and customs. And, as a Friend, you’ll be the first to hear about special events and tours of the historic site!

Keeping the Tradition Alive

“A Friends Group was always part of the vision Mary and I shared for the Historic Site. I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to the group in one way or another. The Friends have been invaluable in helping continue the tradition of sharing our home with school children and other visitors. We couldn’t do it without you. ¡Muchísimas Gracias!”

— Paul Taylor
