The St. John’s College lies nestled at the base of the Monte Sol mountains, just outside the city limits. One of the premier liberal arts colleges in the country, St. John’s College was originally established as King William’s School in 1696, but later established as St. John’s College in Annapolis, MD in 1784. The Santa Fe campus was created in order to manage the over-whelming number of graduate applicants in Annapolis. Today, this college boasts a 250-acre (101-hectare) campus, surrounded by natural beauty, and sequestered, essentially, from the bustling city center. See the website to find information on the college’s programs and other details.
This much-anticipated addition to Santa Fe's museum resources opened in May 2009 to great acclaim. The opening day attracted 7,000 visitors and included ceremonies involving the Spanish and Mexican ambassadors to the United States, the New Mexico governor, and several state cabinet secretaries. The New Mexico History Museum is comprised of three floors of temporary and permanent exhibits and seeks to challenge the way the world thinks about New Mexico and the American West.
