Welcome to Cerrillos, New Mexico

The Best Village in New Mexico

Cerrillos is on the scenic road from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, closer to Santa Fe, accessible from State Highway 14, commonly called the Turquoise Trail

While it was once seriously considered for the capitol of New Mexico, today Cerrillos, with its dirt streets, is a picturesque reminder of the Old West.

It is home to Black Bird Saloon, Broken Saddle Riding Co, Cerrillos Hills State Park, Cerrillos Railhouse Guest Casitas and Casa Grande Trading Post, Mining Museum & Petting Zoo. There are also several galleries and a Post Office. 

The Cerrillos Historical Society works to preserve the area history and family stories that include an extensive A-Z database on this website.

The Mining Museum has items from the Cerrillos Mining District and American Old West. Fine examples of Cerrillos Turquoise are on display.

Movies filmed in Cerrillos include Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, Shootout, Young Guns, Outrageous Fortune, We’re the Millers, and Dark Winds. See Filming in Cerrillos.
