    Great place to start a visit to Albequerque. This is a museum-like collection of authentic artifacts, buildings, and period rooms that take the visitor through a timeline of early Spanish and American settlement in the region. The tour is about 45minutes, given twice a day. You can also visit on a festival day to see some of the craft demonstrations (weaving, blacksmithing, etc)

    This is a very quaint little museum that displays a number of artifacts from early Mexican American culture. The Casa was built in the 1970's and is a replica of a ranch house from over a hundred years ago from traditional adobe. It's a very interesting place to visit.

    Very interesting visit to an "off the beaten path" treasure in Corrales (close to Albuquerque. The history of this home spans more than 150 years. Our guide, Carl, was very knowledgeable and lots of fun, as he shared stories and information about the building, artifacts, and people connected to the house. We've lived in Albuquerque 50 years, and had never seen this before. I'm so glad we visited! Highly recommended!

    Do yourself a favor and visit this beautiful and historic home. Our guide was a delight and the stories of each phase of the property was so worth the visit!

    This was an unexpected wonderful surprise. We found the link to this place through the Albuquerque museum website and decided to give it a try. It's an authentic old house turned into a museum and It's so well kept and beautiful and interesting. So far one of the best places we've visited. The people there were wonderful and they even gave us a private tour. A very competent and kind lady shoved us the place and explained everything about new mexico and the house and she really made feel a part if that period. I cannot recommend it enough. Definitely worth the while for a ridiculously cheap price. Wonderful.

    I loves the tour and felt like this place is very speacial. Visiting inspired me to write a poem called: Be Weary of the Lazy Farmer ❤️🌈🤣🖤🤷🏼‍♀️

    Don't let the exterior size fool you. The Casa is expansive once you get through the door. The docent was very knowledgeable about the history of the structure, the benefactor abd the collected artifacts housed in the Casa. The tour is $6 and worth it. Workshops and programs are held regularly about life in the 19th century in New Mexico, particularly Corales. A nice collection of religious folk art throughout the Casa.

    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. Go to the Albuquerque Museum website to see other activities such as second Saturday.

    We went to Corrales and found this museum by accident. We are so glad we did. We met a fine young man (Eathen) in the parking lot and he invited us into the building even though there was a busload of youngsters there on a field trip. The place was fantastic, all the furniture and cabins were beautiful and authentic. We enjoyed the day spent there very much. Thank you.

    Very interesting but difficult to navigate for seniors. The grounds could be cleaned up for easier walking nut I enjoyed the tour and have told others about it.

    This wonderful place is a time capsule. Really shows how life was at the turn of the century and the steps our ancestors took to survive in New Mexico. A very nice collections of artifacts. Annette did a really great job giving us a tour. I'm bringing my father here soon.
