Name |
Kit Carson Museum at Rayado |

|
Description |
Philmont lies on part of a land grant given to Carlos Beaubien and
Guadalupe Miranda by the Mexican government in 1841. Mountain man Lucien
Maxwell founded a colony on the grant on the Rayado River in 1848. A
year later, he was joined at the settlement by frontiersman Kit Carson.
Their ranch on the Rayado was visited by many traders traveling on the
Santa Fe Trail.
In 1950 the Boy Scouts of America built an adobe museum at Rayado to
serve as an interpretive area to portray its history and recount the
exploits of Maxwell and Carson. It was named in honor of Kit Carson.
Staff at the Kit Carson Museum dress in period clothing and demonstrate
frontier skills and crafts like blacksmithing, cooking, shooting, and
farming. Each room in the museum is outfitted with reproduction
furniture and objects typical of New Mexico in the 1850s. The Rayado
Trading Company, located at the museum, sells books, maps, reproduction
tools and equipment, moccasins, and blankets.

Description |
Waite Phillips built the Villa Philmonte as the summer home for his
family on the Philmont Ranch. It was completed in 1927 and was designed
in Spanish Mediterranean style. Restored to the period when Phillips
owned the ranch, it now serves as a memorial to him and his generosity
to the Boy Scouts of America. |
