The Pueblo is made of adobe. Adobe is a clay straw mixture typically
in the form of sun-dried bricks, but can be poured into forms. The walls of the
pueblo are usually made very thick, sometimes 2-3 feet.
Pottery, jewelry, and other locally handmade items can be
purchased in little shops located throughout the pueblo.
Completed in 1850,
the San Geronimo( St. Jerome) Chapel was built to replace the original church
which had been destroyed in the Mexican-American War.
