NMHS News:

The village of Gisewa, nestled in the Jemez Mountains, has been the home of Jemez Historic Site for many years. Every year, the site invites visitors to enjoy farolitos lining the site’s walking paths, Native American music and Pueblo dancers, food vendors, and an arts and crafts fair. 

This year is no different. Join Jemez Historic Site for Lights of Gisewa Friday, Dec. 8 and Saturday, Dec. 9 at Jemez Historic Site, 18160 N.M. 4 in Jemez Springs.

To access the site, buses from parking stations throughout Jemez Springs will be provided. If you decide to walk to the site, we recommend bringing a flashlight and wearing reflective clothing.  

And be sure to dress warm—it’s going to be cold! Flash photography, drones, firearms, and alcohol are prohibited.  

New Mexico Historic Sites values its communities! The sites exist not only to preserve New Mexico’s history and culture, but to help cultivate it, too. And winter events like this one are an opportunity for community members to come together on their local sites, break bread with and support one another, and soak in their area’s natural beauty.
