Casa San Ysidro — Attraction in Corrales

Casa San Ysidro is Albuquerque Museum's little Jewel located in the Village of Corrales, New Mexico.Built on land originally owned by the Gutierrez family as a land grant, the home was built around 1868 and was lived by descendants of the original family until it was purchased in the 1950s by a University of New Mexico professor who spent decades expanding it and filling it with artifacts obtained from areas throughout New Mexico. The Docent led tour is about $6 and is a bargain at twice the price. This is a little Museum that can be toured more than once as each docent may put their own spin on it. The Museum also sponsors two festivals a year, a Heritage Day in May and a Harvest Festival in late September or early October. The Festivals feature many artisans, musicians and storytellers as well as Churro sheep and donkeys loaded with packs, blacksmiths, wool spinning and weaving and more.

Visited with my wife and parents. Even though we hadn’t scheduled a tour, Aaron let us know we’d be welcome to join William for a tour. Both Aaron and William got us setup for what turned out to be a private tour.

My 85 year old parents have some mobility limitations and William picked that up and adjusted. He made our informative tour more like a conversation among friends.

We’re so glad our city, the Albuquerque Museum, and tireless staff preserve history at this...
