200th Anniversary of the Santa Fe Trail (2021) - SantaFeTrail200.org;
"In 1821, Mexico won independence from Spain, opening New Mexico to international trade. That year, traders from the U.S. arrived in Santa Fe to sell their goods. Commerce on the trail was lucrative, and over the next 59 years, the Santa Fe Trail was a two-way highway for commercial traffic. The trail played a significant role in the history of New Mexico.
Throughout 2021, the National Park Service will reflect upon the trail’s history and our partners across the trail will host events. The anniversary will be a time for people to visit the many historical sites, museums, and recreational areas in New Mexico related to the trail."
